Show HN: Google search+display revenue alone is more than all of Microsoft's rev
Something interesting I just noticed. Both Google and Microsoft released earnings today. I looked through the numbers and this caught my eye.
Google rev: $65.1B
Microsoft rev: $45.3B
Google made about ~$20B more than Microsoft. Looking at the earnings release, Google's search & display business alone made about $46B in revenue, which is more than the entirety of Microsoft.
Other biz units that are not included in Google's core search & display business:
Youtube: $7.2B
Cloud: $5B
Google "Other": $6.7B
Other bets: $0.18B

- takdbf 5y agoThere are ~20 American companies with more revenue than Microsft. Most people are always suprised by what they find on that list.
- planetsprite 5y agoDoes youtube lose money? I read somewhere that they paid creators 30 billion over 3 years, which averages to 10 billion a year, almost 3 billion more than the segment makes in revenue a year. It seems like paying creators so much is unsustainable.
- green-eclipse 5y agoYou're confusing annual and quarterly revenue. YT made $7B in revenue this quarter. Implies a > $28B annual rev stream.
