Google made $79B from ad revenue in 2016[1]. $79B in a year / 365 days per year = 218M per day. So GP underestimated by quite a bit.

Or put another way: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=google+ad+revenue

is "making per day" profit or revenue?

If I had a hot dog cart and sold $500 worth of hot dogs, but the hot dogs cost me $100, to me, that's not making $500.
