So a day-fine is worth 1/60 of the person's monthly net income. You earn a lot, you pay a lot, that much is correct. Opting for jail time like Teemu claims he did is not possible to start with, instead his bank assets or if that's not possible alternatively some of his luxury items could be seized should he fail to pay.
The only theoretical way he might manage to land in jail is if he avoids having any assets or property seized for a prolonged period of time, but even then he would not have a criminal record which is the reason he claims he chose to pay after all.
There's no record of him having ever been fined such amount for speeding anyway, in 1993 he received a fine of around 1800 USD. In 2000 he received a high fine for another traffic violation, but it was for him driving over the Vice President of the IIHF rather than speeding.
