Click to embiggen, and you’ll find out that the internet porn industry is worth $97 billion dollars. At least, I think it’s a billion. Could possibly be a million. Or something.

In any case, $97 billion dollars is bigger than Facebook (at a paltry $15 billion), the video games industry ($32 billion), Bill Gates ($46 billion), bigger than enough food to feed every child in the world for a year ($54 billion), even bigger than China’s defence budget ($60 billion)!

Surprising, no?
