And Russia just fined Google some ridiculously large number. Coincidence? 🤔

$20 decillion

That’s: $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Or 20 with 33 zeros after it. Or 20 trillion trillion trillion dollars.

The GDP of planet Earth is estimated at $100 trillion a year…

I'm pretty sure that's 20 Decillion rubles, which is like $97.25 in spendable money.

RUB 2 undecillion (36 zeros) amounts to US$20 decillion, or about US$20 trillion trillion trillion, significantly exceeding the size of the global economy.

Seriously. He was not even close to being worth that much before the interview.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

it must be how much he thinks he'll "lose" if not able to run his grift and scam from 1600 penn ave for four more years and/or when his social network stock craters when he loses.

You'll be able to tell the exact size of his bribe by how much he makes selling the worthless DJT shares he owns now that the Saudis and Russia have pumped it up.

Reminds me of the headline regarding Russia fining Google $10,000,000,000,000,000,000 or whatever crazy amount.

Shitty dictators think alike 💡
