Russia fines Google a whopping $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
An expert at the HSE Institute of Education told TASS Russian News Agency that the tech giant "clearly will not pay this penalty, and the Russian Federation will not be able to recover this money from the company".
Google's parent company Alphabet Inc. is currently sitting on $2.16 trillion in market capitalization and despite earning $80.54 billion last quarter, the tech giant will not be able to afford the insane amount Russia is expecting.
The fine kept on increasing every day in the last four years with Google being expected to pay 100,000 Russian rubles on a daily basis which finally summed up to a whopping $20 Decillion.
