E.g [1] trained for 20 * 10^5 iterations at 2.1 seconds per image, coming out to 48 days (!) in total. Maybe the 2.1 seconds also include the post-processing to get bounding boxes, though. Anyway, you need lots of training time.

Looks like they only used a single GPU for training though - you could trivially get that time down a lot if you used one of the cloud ML platforms (and were prepared to pay)
