a zillion

Innumerably vast quantity

A zillion is an indefinitely large number, used for humorous or emphatic effect rather than mathematical precision: I've told you a zillion times.

Like bazillion and gazillion, it playfully echoes actual large numbers (million, billion, trillion) while signaling exaggeration.

There were a zillion stars in the sky.
