EU revenue isn't that high. The US Federal budget is $4,000b, the EU budget is $170b

Over 4.5 years, from 2013 to 2017, EU fines totaled nearly $10b. That's $2b a year, or just over 1% of the EU's total revenue.

The EU just fined Google alone $5b. So clearly using past numbers is not an indication of their current or future intentions.
