I think that $20 decillion not only blows the GDP of the planet out of the water, it is also several orders of magnitude larger than the entire valuation of the entirety of the planet including the core.

Edit: looked it up, and the GDP of 2023 was just over $100 trillion.

So google got fined 2x10 ^ 34?

The earth is made up of 1.33x10 ^ 50 atoms. An A4 sheet of paper is made up of 8.37x10 ^ 23. Let's assume roughly a dollar bill is 1/8th of an A4 sheet, so 1x10 ^ 23.

The atoms in the dollar bill (10 ^ 23) multipled by the fine total (2x10 ^ 34) is 2x10 ^ 57.

This means if every atom on the entire earth was rearranged into dollar bills you wouldn't have enough money. You would need to do that to a million earths to pay that fine.

Disclaimer: I half assed this math on my lunch break and I trusted Google AI results for the atom counts
