How do they survive?

£6.1M by Hungary for unfair 4 years ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23012239

€475k by Netherlands for late reporting 3 years ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26708959

$17.5M by Russia for anti-competition 3 years ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28327176

Either they are not paying or they are so insanely lucrative it doesn't make sense to me.

Almost half a billion dollars is a lot, is it even comparable to other EU fines given lately like the 1.2 billion GDPR fine to Facebook a few years back, and have they payed?
