I saw a short on YouTube where the joke was one of the characters saying "She may be worth a million dollars to you, but for me she's worthless", which I thought was something very romantic.

It turns out that it is not and, in fact, it's a very negative thing to say. Why does "priceless" fit there but "worthless" does not?

For additional information, both translate into Galician and Spanish as "To have no value"
