Erika claiming that $1 million isn't much money is ironic.

It's ironic considering that she fought to keep the $750,000 earrings if she considers $1,000,000 to not be that much money. The earrings proven to have been paid for with Tom Girardi's stolen blood money.

That's on top of her accusing Marco Marco of illegally charging her AMEX card and essentially stealing the designs by refusing to pay.
