How much would it cost to purchase every single asset in the Unity Asset Store?

At the time of writing this article (April 2023), there are about 85.000 assets in the Unity Asset Store. Every day about 40 new assets are added.

Purchasing all assets in the Unity Asset Store costs
$ 1,528,809
and requires about
15 TerraBytes
of disk space.

Based on my experience it would take about 100* years to import it into a project.
*Actually my rough calculation landed on about 6 months, but that's not as funny as I had hoped.
