Revenue != Profit.

The figure you want is Net Income on page 30 of this publicly accessible document from the SEC’s website: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1652044/000165204423...

$59,972M (~$60B).

Still a nice sum of money, but it doesn’t need exaggeration nor misrepresentation.

Google's Market Cap was around $1.4T last year.

A $1.4T should generate at least 2*(10 Year Treasury Yield) or 8% or $110 Billion in profit.

Else, shareholders can simply buy 10-Year-T to earn risk-free profit.

So Google isn't generating enough profits at the current economic conditions.
