When they purchased DMarc Broadcasting few years back for something like $100M, it was a pretty big deal. Some were calling for anti-trust investigations even then.
But like some other Google acquisitions, this one didn't work out that well.

102M up front then payments of up to 1.1B(!) over 3 years.
