Conservatively:

Amazon makes approximately 800k per minute, so in about 45 minutes they’ve recouped their money. Make it one hour just to cover all other costs, lawyers, etc involved in this.

Is that revenue, or profit? Also is this specifically revenue on France or globally?

It's kind of a big difference. If a company makes 300M but spends 400M it's unsustainable despite it being huge numbers.
