I figured the half a mil per episode figure was an average, but there's a bit of a significant difference between 500 grand and ~$435,384.62. Over a $64k difference.

In case there's a cultural or language barrier, though it seems rather unlikely at this point, if an American says a number followed by the word, "grand," or, "k",  that's basically like saying x thousand.
