From the article, 79 million IPv4 addresses, 0.005/hour($3.60/month), and an estimated 30% utilisation. $85m per month, $1bn/y.
It kinda also sets a new standard price for IPV4 addresses. I'm looking forward to the day that IPV6 (or translation) is commonplace enough that things can be run V6 only.
I've given up on the IPv6 transition happening in my lifetime.

So that's how many IPv4 addresses Amazon has? For comparison, if I ask my server provider nicely they will give me a huge block of IPv6 addresses. For free. The largest block they will give a single customer (again, for free) is a /56 block which is 4,722,366,482,869,645,213,696 IP addresses.
To give you an idea how big that is... if I had ten billion customers, I could allocate several hundred billion unique IP addresses to each customer. And that's just with a section of the IPv6 address space that networks will hand out for free.
I run my monero node as v6 only and it works super well
How many drugs to you order and what's your preference?
Very very few and marijuana
Smart man
And the rest. Bit o crack at the weekends and for special occasions you do a big order of oxys, xans and ket. ;)
Lol, more like groceries and home insulation with a few donations to app development thrown in on the side.
