Let the amount of money received by the first child be x million dollars.
The second child receives 2x million dollars.
The third child receives 3x million dollars.
The fourth child receives 4x million dollars.
The total inheritance is x + 2x + 3x + 4x = 10x = 80 million dollars.
Therefore, each child receives x = 80 / 10 = <<80/10=8>>8 million dollars. Answer: \boxed{8}.
