And that's just American subscribers. Apparently there are over 70 billion global subscribers.

I'm sure they're doling out a ton on original series production, movie/ tv show rights, tech guys to keep the app running smoothly, etc. but damn. Seems like they're raking in cash.

HBO said they made $2 Billion in profit off GOT. Probably wrote off another $8 Billion to avoid taxes.
