Need help with regex pattern

I'm looking for a pattern that matches a string like this: string = "1. Solo 2,000, 000.2. Learner30,000.3.solearn3000." I'm trying to extract all the money values in the string i.e 2,000,000, 30,000, 3000 so i can sum the later. Mypattern = pattern = r"^[1-9][,0]+" re.findall(Mypattern, string) always comes back empty

135. Solo 300,000 136. learners 300,000 137. North Korea 150,000 138. Famile 1,500,000. This is an example of what the string looks like plus some other messy stuff. I want the extract the money part and dump the rest including the index (137,138 etc).
