A Russian court has fined Google an enormous amount of money—so large, it’s nearly impossible to comprehend. Russia demands Google pay more than 2 undecillion rubles, a 2 followed by 36 zeroes, or approximately $34 decillion NZD.
This penalty arose after Google blocked certain Russian channels on YouTube, which Russia has ordered Google to restore. The fine has continued to increase as Google has not complied.
This penalty far exceeds the entire world’s economy, valued at about $110 trillion, while Google’s parent company, Alphabet, is worth around $2 trillion. The court fines are doubling each week due to Google’s non-payment, leading to this massive sum.
Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesperson, acknowledged the fine’s astonishing size and said it’s “symbolic,” highlighting Russia’s stance against Google blocking its media. In response, Google mentioned ongoing legal issues in Russia, but stated that these matters likely won’t harm their earnings overall.
