Google has more than $44 billion to invest anyway it sees fit. The Internet behemoth therefore spends its billions on research projects and companies. Some of the lucky recipients of Google’s wealth include YouTube, which Google purchased in 2006.

Other beneficiaries of Google’s billions include companies that have nothing to do with the web at all. Investments in research on driverless robotic cars suggest that Google’s vision is greater than its currently available technologies.

From funding lobbyists to investing in web-based coupon companies, simple words to explain how Google spends its billions and why escape imagination. A few things are certain about how it spends its money: Google either wants to rule the world or it is one of the most visionary corporations on Earth.

Google clearly has no intention of stopping at refining its search engine technology. It appears to be positioning itself in tremendously creative applications of its core technology. Perhaps what we’re witnessing in Google’s spending behavior is the result of giving employees permission to participate in its evolution.
