Russia fines Google more money than there is in entire world

[Pogo]

A Russian court has fined Google two undecillion roubles - a two followed by 36 zeroes - for restricting Russian state media channels on YouTube.

In dollar terms that means the tech giant has been told to pay $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

If this works I look forward to watching Botswana fine Microsoft Eleventy quad-zillion space bucks for some inconvenience.

Come to think of it, I should fine the country of India for all those spam calls I get. I’m feeling generous, so I’ll let them off for just $1,000,000,000,000,000.02 Mexican Pesos

That would be about $4.15 in US money.

Well hog tie me and I was one of the guys that laughed at good old Stephen Segal. He had a gut 'big gut' feeling the Ruskies were about to become the richest people on earth. A Russian court has fined Google two undecillion roubles? Well Google better smarten the hell up after this slap in the jib. Their burnin the midnight oil they will figure out something?
Good luck Google.

Does anybody care about what Russians say? Turn them off. Let them change the channel.

I doubt Google is worrying if they will be able to cover payroll

Isn't that only like a buck and a half American at the current exchange rate?

No, that's the price AFTER converting to US dollars. To get an idea of the size of this sum, the US economy, the entire GDP, is just under $28 Trillion (27.4)

If you took the ENTIRE US GPD, and applied it towards the Google fine, every year, year after year ...

It would take more than 714 Quadrillion years to pay off the fine.
