My guess is, that there are currently certainly less than $50 trillion nominal CDS contracts worldwide, and of real risk, much, much less, maybe max $1-10 trillion. It would be interesting to know who is correct.

It seem illogical to me, why you want the amount of CDS risk to be much larger than the total sum of values that can be lost, unless you're counting the same values over and over again, in which case your number doesn't reflect the actual potential consequences of failures.
