I don't know where you're getting that number but it's definitely wrong. Their most profitable year so far was 2021, and they made $39.4 billion for the entire year. Source
So assuming things haven't changed too much for them, this is about 1%. Barely noticeable.
I mean, I want them to pay as much as possible, but 1% of their global revenue, for just a small country like Norway, still seems pretty decent.
No, it's 0.1%. But Norway could be less than 1% of their market, so it's somewhat significant.
Ah. Got that number from a Google search. Thanks for telling me.
