Google may have redefined the way we use the internet, but it is no stranger to hefty fines. In the last 10 years, the tech giant has been reportedly fined an estimated $14 billion in penalties around the world.
While this may sound a lot, a new report by the Russian state media outlet RBC News citing an anonymous source familiar with the matter suggests that Google’s unpaid fines in Russia now amount to 2 undecillion rubles or $2.5 decillion. One undecillion is a unit followed by 66 zeros.
