The way someone with $100,000,000 would perceive $1000 is how someone with $100,000 would perceive $1.

$1000 to someone with $100,000 is like $1,000,000 to someone with $100,000,000. To make your point you'd have to do it backwards: $1000 to someone with $100,000,000 is like $1 to someone with $100,000.
