Since gauge bosons don't have consciousness, its kind of irrelavent how old it would percieve the universe. But say John Photon, being light, is traveling at light speed, by your numbers it would be 108,325,000 years by my admittedly quick math.

From the vantage point of a photon, time is defined differently and "years" as you put them would not exist to the photon. (note: this answer likely won't earn you any points in a class unless you can back it up yourself)
