Long story short, businesses never 'leave' money hanging around in banks. It also has to pay its external specialists for stuff on regular terms.Īnd you might think 'Google must have made billions in profits in the last decade', but I got to point out that no businesses in most of the world with even half that scale of Google retains even 5% of its profits (I remind you, I'm, writing about the 'profits' here) after a period of time than 6 months. That's just a fraction of the R&D teams and there are also, in every building, the RH crews, the maintenance crews, the financial specialist crew. (I'm not writing about their interne programs, but about those who moved out of that program and got into the permanent or contractual programs.) I know quite a few people who are or were paid in the 100K-200K range per year in R&D and they were part of a team of a dozen of similar people and they were competing against 4 to 6 other similar teams. It also has its research groups in R&D which are paid some really good salaries in average. (So that's hardware and HR costs right there.) It has 24 data centers around the world which requires 24/24 maintenance crew and I would be scared to know how much hardware is constantly swapped in those. Obviously, it could have some insanely better deals due to its size and financial power, but that's just to give an idea of how much of a glutton the business is on its incomes just to stay alive. That's 1.488 Billion USD in electricity alone.

Let's say that the average cost it would pay per kilowatts-hour is 0.12$. The cost in electricity, alone, is in the millions of USD.ģ years ago, Google registered an use of 12.4 Terawatts-hour for its infrastructures.

While I wouldn't say that the whole 29B in revenues are used, I would point out that Google do have some of the most expansive tech infrastructure in the world.
