The text the OP quoted was likely originally typed by a US writer. In the US (and in plenty of other countries too), the comma is used as a thousands separator, while the dot is used as a decimal mark: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_mark

Being pedantic, "214,000,000 million" is incorrect either way.
