American Technology Society Apple not only does it have a pile of money in its accounts, accumulating almost 300 billion US dollars, but it also has the largest market capitalization in the world. Apple became the first company in the world to ever have a market capitalization exceeding US$800 billion on Tuesday. You can calculate the market capitalization very easily, because you just need to multiply the number of issued shares of the company by the price per share, and the result is the market capitalization that has been trending so much in recent weeks.
It is quite interesting to look at the market capitalization Applu and on itself Apple as on earth. If he was Apple country and iPhone were its capital, it would be the 17th largest economy in the world. Together with Google (Alphabet) and Microsoft, these three companies are worth 2 trillion US dollars. Just for fun, the GDP of the whole of India is 2,2 trillion US dollars for 2016. So it is very interesting to see that the values of private companies and often their cash that they hold in their accounts is greater than that of most countries on our planet.
