* ''WesternAnimation/PrincessNatasha'': In "Zoravian Lightning - Part 1", a magazine has a picture of race car driver Ingo Pinto receiving a check worth "lots and lots of money". In Part 2, [[spoiler:he receives another check with "lots and lots of money" written on it as his prize for winning a race but it's a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] because it's stated back in Part 1 the prize is five million dollars]].

* In ''LightNovel/AccelWorld'', points, which are gained by fighting players or defeating Enemies, and lost by dying, can be used as money or experience(since players can choose when to level up). When Centaurea Sentry shows Silver Crow her in-world house, Silver Crow asks how many points it costs, but Sentry declines to tell him, lest he be shocked at how much.

** When telling his kids about Barney finally revealing how much money he spends on suits each year, narrator Ted only refers to it as a "crapload". Later in the episode we find out that when Barney became a corporate executive his starting salary was "16 craploads" a year. It is also revealed that Robin's family is very rich and has a net value of "6,000 Canadian craploads".

* In ''Film/TheGame'', the bill for the eponymous game is left unrevealed, yet it is apparently enough to leave two millionaire brothers quite surprised.

* On ''Series/{{Life}}'', the amount of money included in Charlie Crews's settlement for his wrongful imprisonment is undisclosed by court order.[[note]]People speculating generally mention the figure of $50 million.[[/note]]

** A lot of other auctions require that the bidders submit sealed bids. This is because being able to see what other people are bidding both reveals potentially information to other bidders and, at the same time, allows those making the bids to game the system.

** The comic usually averts it, but gets the same effect by using real numbers, but in something other than units of currency, like saying something costs a character a year's pay -keeping in mind Tagon makes sure to pay his troops very well.

* ''WebComic/StandStillStaySilent'': The expedition's true objective is to illegaly salvage [[TheBeforetimes Old World]] books, "forget" to mention it to the people who funded the expedition as a research operation and sell them for a lot of money. The flash-back establishing the monetary value of Old World books involves a book transcriber accidentally knocking an Old World original off his desk, getting yelled at by his boss because of how precious it is, taking the opportunity to ask how much it's worth, and being amazed at the answer. The book transcriber from this flash-back went on to be the expedition's organizer. The story being set in an AfterTheEnd world in which a small country's currency has become the one used in all the known surviving countries and the standard of living has changed only makes what would qualify as "a lot of money" harder to nail down.

* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary''
** The tropes is played straight with Lunesby, [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2009-07-13 here]]. The payment [[spoiler:to save Lunesby]] is issued in "large, non-sequential bills."

* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'' plays it straight with Lunesby, [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2009-07-13 here]]. Usually averts it, but gets the same effect by using real numbers but in something other than units of currency, like saying something costs a character a year's pay -keeping in mind Tagon makes sure to pay his troops very well.

* ''ComicBook/ScroogeMcDuck'': The exact mount of Scrooge's fortune is never specified (among other things, it keeps increasing), so the writers went the EleventyZillion route of just making up numbers for it.

'''[[UnreliableNarrator Future Ted:]]''' ''(narrating)'' Kids, I won't bother you with the number, but it was a crapload.\\

''Podcast/{{Midst}}'': It's never specified exactly how much Valor Moc Weepe receives when he creates his account, but it's the single largest payment that the Notary's ever handed out, and the machine runs out of beads halfway through. He's last seen carrying his new abacus back home in a sack. He's so richly rewarded, in fact, that he isn't even happy about the size of the reward: he's terrified.

Sub-trope to TakeOurWordForIt. Compare ZillionDollarBill, {{Fiction 500}}. Contrast OnTheMoney.

* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' never discusses the specific amount of money any of the characters make. This is typically not brought up, but there are a few instances where specific amounts of money are referenced such as when Dora is going over the books for her coffee shop and when her brother Sven is discussing how much money he has made by writing various country songs. The latter is apparently enough to make him continue writing them even though he thinks they're garbage.

* Played straight in ''Mother 2'', but averted in ''VideoGame/EarthBound''. During localization, for some reason a couple of vague references meaning roughly "[[EleventyZillion a bajillion]] dollars" were changed to real numbers (Ness' family's debt to Porky's family is "a hundred thousand dollars or more" and the Diamond "could pay off a million dollar debt easily").

* In ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney - Trials and Tribulations'', Maximillion Galactica's salary is never stated, only that it's a lot for a magician.

* ''ComicBook/MegaMan'': Dr. Light apparently got a very healthy sum to design combat robots for the military after Blues' demonstration. It was this money and what he made selling Sniper Joes to the army that helped to fund Light Labs in the first place.

** Another example would be in ''The Cadillac'' episode, where Jerry earns enough money to buy a Cadillac, from a single gig.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' episode "Pick a Car, Any Car", a mechanic at a car repair shop tallies up the total funds it would require to fix the Read family's car, showing Mr. Read the result on a calculator without telling it to the viewers. Mr. Read gasps at the figure and tells the mechanic the family will need to think about it before they make a decision. What makes this scene somewhat {{Narm}}-inducing is that directly after Mr. Read reacts to the cost, an IdiosyncraticWipe happens with the same calculator, and it actually ''does'' have a value on it (it zooms by too fast for an average child to catch, but a careful viewer can pretty easily notice it), and it's the incredibly high cost of... $60.36. And right after that happens, Mr. Read says "We can't afford to fix that car, it'll be more than buying a new one!" Needless to say, it's not exactly likely that was the intended value the viewer was to see.
