What is the verb/phrases means we reach a specific number and then go beyond it?
I am thinking about "surpass“ and "break through". For example, the sales finally surpassed/broke through 1 million dollar. Are they ok? And what bout "go beyond" , "go over" and "go above"?

Question

Answer

surpass is an excellent choice.

I would not use "break through" here.  You could say an amount BREAKS the previous record.

The painting sold for $45 million, breaking the previous record of $40 million for a painting by that artist.

Answer

'Exceed' would be a useful word here.
