Apple's market cap as of right now is 381.6 billion dollars (I bet you totally read 'billion' in the Dr. Evil voice...). Things Apple Is Worth More Than is a website that compares Apple's market cap compared to other indexes. Apple is worth more than...
- The entire projected GDB of Singapore ($318B) by 2016.
- All the illegal drugs in the world ($321B).
- The entire combined franchise value of The Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, Stephen King and Twilight series (paltry $49B).
- Denmark's GDP ($337B).
- The combined value of Big 3 pharma companies, Novartis, Sanofi-Aventis, and Pfizer ($355B).
- My checking, savings, and 401K.
The last bullet point is the only one that really eats at me. No, Matt Damon's character in Good Will Hunting, I definitely do not like them apples.
By the way, my iPod and my new Macbook Air are amazing. I can't wait to get the new iPhone 5 when my contract expires.
