That number seems relatively cheap for me. I guess it's a little over that if it's worldwide, no? Not to mention related values like stock prices, etc...
Facebook has 7,185 employees as of June 30th, 2014. Assuming the average salary is $100,000 (They aren't all developers). It means that facebook makes enough money to pay all it's employees for the year in 22 and a half days.
This is what I want to know. I'm not an expert with ChromeTools, but I was able to determine the following:
1. Viewing the page source showed that only maybe a few dozen lines of html were being retrieved. Stopped somewhere in the million scripts in the <head>.
2. More interestingly, the Network pane showed 200s across the board... no resource was being requested that wasn't being served.
So, the servers were simply serving up a tenth of the web page? Is that it? It seems as though some internal generation of the html pooped out before finishing. No HTTP errors because nothing in the html that we received requested anything that wasn't already there.

The average yearly programmer salary is generated about every four minutes. Neat.

Internally? Absolutely, for, at minimum, every user-visible outage.
