And deal with the physical stuff ( racking, cabling, cooling, electricity, DCs) and networking stuff ( high quality redundant networking routers, switches, firewalls, the engineers that can use them) ? It's quite possible it would cost more than $400 million / year to do all of that properly at a global scale, and a big part would be paid upfront.
