I was reading an article today that has the following heading:

Huawei P30 e P30 Pro svelati: ventordici fotocamere, con tanto di zoom 10x (foto)

So what does ventordici means? Just a way to say a ridiculously big number?

As you can read in this semi-serious blog article ventordici is an imaginary number with some strange properties.

Ventordici: numero immaginifico fondamentale del campo complessato.

It is an informal way to describe a huge quantity that cannot be determined, like, for example zillions.

Another similar word we use in Italian is fantastilione that can be translated to bazillion.

As suggested by @VincenzoOliva, another word used with similar meaning is millemila.
