could be worth anywhere between $475B and $550B,

Could be more.

I heard one estimate of Youtube's profit margin of 38%.
If the revenue run rate is your $54.2bn figure, that suggests a gross profit around $20.6bn.
If that is gross (I don't remember where the 38% came from), let's knock off 21% to pencil in net of $16.3bn.
Apply the multiple given to Netflix, 47 last I checked, and that gets you to Mr Market thinking they'd be worth $765bn.

(no, I don't believe this is the right number, but it's a line of reasoning that a stock broker might use)

If one were to buy that sort of valuation, it means all the rest of the earnings, from search and cloud, are very cheap right now.
