Morphology
millionty + funding
The phrase's meaning is largely inferable from 'million' (large number) combined with 'funding' to signal a very large sum, but the form 'millionty' is nonstandard and not a recognized word. Because the constituent nonce/suffixed form requires creative inference about meaning and register (informal/exaggerated), it is partly predictable but not fully transparent to a B1 learner without exposure.
Etymology
Millionty funding comes from playing with the word million and adding -ty to make it sound like an even bigger, made-up number, while funding means money for a project. That funny image of endless money is why it is used to mean 'a very large or unspecified amount of funding'.
