  1. For those wondering, that’s the number 20, followed by 33 zeros. Or….

    20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

  2. I don’t have that much in my account at the moment. Can I pay in monthly instalments of a couple bazillion?

  3. This is going to be a great addition for those “Weird But True Fun Facts!” books I’d always buy at my elementary school book fair.

  4. “Here’s the plan. We get the warhead and we hold the world ransom for… TWENTY DECILLION DOLLARS!”

  5. The funny thing is, if Google was actually able to pay that fine, in rubles, the resulting hyperinflation would absolutely zero out any remaining value of the ruble and completely cripple their economy.

    Yes, even more than this war and Putin’s rule already has. Much more.

  6. Google will be like we will get right on that as soon as the war is over and all your scantions are lifted and we can leaglly opperate in your country again

  7. Vladimir Poopin determined to turn Russia into the world’s laughing stock before croaking.

  8. Can they pay it in Sacajawea dollar coins?

    Here’s what chat-gpt has to say about the weight and mass… (shipping containers)

    Total volume of the coins: approximately
    4.0064 × 10^28
    4.0064 × 10^28 cubic meters.
    Total weight of the coins: approximately 1.62 × 10^29 metric tons.
    Number of 20-foot shipping containers needed: approximately
    1.21 × 10^27 containers.
    This staggering number of containers vastly exceeds all resources on Earth; in fact, it would fill more than a trillion trillion Earth-sized planets with containers stacked like this! ​

  9. Actually, this is funny, but I live in Russia, and this has a terrifying effect – these same clowns can put you to death in some polar prison. Think again – such absurd court decisions have power on the 1/6 of earth territory+ allies. This is how terror works.

  10. Now its Google’s turn to sue Yandex for $200000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.

  11. A decillion! Thats an **enormous** amount of money lol Thats significantly more money than ….than quite honestly *existing on the planet today*. Who in the world is insane enough to even consider th-

    …..Oh its Russia, to the surprise of noone.

    What a deeply unserious country. If you want to ban Google just do it.

  12. we can wait for some more time. The fine is exponential in nature. in a few weeks, it will reach 1 googol. That would be a headline then- “Google to pay USD 1 googol to Russia”

  13. Unfortunately for Russia, I already fined Google 30 decillion Stanley Nickles. No worries Russia. I’m sure that after they finish paying me, they will surely get to you.
