$20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
$20,000,000 is the fine that Russia has imposed on Google for restricting Russian state media channels on YouTube.
This fine is more money than there is in the world.
Google is one of the richest companies in the world at $2 trillion, but with a total world GDP estimated at $110 trillion by the International Monetary Fund.
The fine has reached such a huge level because state news agency Tass says it doubles every day if it is not paid.
According to Tass, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov admitted that he "cannot pronounce this number" but asked "Google management to pay attention."
Google has not commented publicly.
