29 Billion represents roughly 20% of their annual Gross Profit. That’s a serious chunk of change, even for them.

Their market cap isn’t really relevant, it’s not like that “value” is accessible to them, much less usable to pay their bills.

Damn! I thought it was something like $50B. I mean, that sounds like a really huge amount.
