They are making billions from ads, just look their annual report.

Sorry if this is obvious but I went to focus on revenue per user per year.

In other words, how much is it worth to fight the perception that gmail is somehow less secure than office 365 because ads (others have pointed out Google apps for business users don't see ads in their work gmail).

I somehow doubt that gmail ads are worth even remotely close to $120 (12 months * $10 per month) per user per year.

In other news: How much is a user worth per year to Google? Assuming not all users are the same, is there a way to predict his much revenue a user can bring for Google?

The competitor for Office 365 is GSuite, not Gmail. People that were previously shown ads based on email content are not going to start paying for Gmail.
