Now, Google is a massive company that affects our lives every day. Think about it – where would we be without Google Maps, Android phones, or even Google helping our kids with their homework?
Alphabet (Google) has reported a current revenue (TTM) of $307.39 billion, as per their latest financial reports. This marks an increase from the $282.83 billion revenue recorded in 2022, which itself surpassed the $257.63 billion revenue in 2021.
