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.

Despite being one of the world's wealthiest companies, that is considerably more than the $2 trillion Google is worth.

In fact, it is far greater than the world’s total GDP, which is estimated by the International Monetary Fund to be $110 trillion.

Awesome. Since all the money in the world is now lost, that must mean I can declare huge losses for myself and my businesses. Won't have to pay tax again for years.

Don't worry google will be worth twice that much after a dollar crisis and hyperinflation. Maybe an ominous sign .
