A lot of hyperbole there. is the value normed in any way for inflation?
Carnegie Steel, 475 million back then is 75 billion today.
Apple? 56 Billion.
Carnegie steel utterly changed the infrastructure of the nation, probably to a bigger degree than apple which has numerous acceptable substitutes.
Apple opened China? Wag the dog much?
Fanboy breathless pronouncements aside, apple is a good company. But best in the history of the world? Not so much.
Apple value is almost $750 Billion. Apple has $178 Billion just in cash on hand.
!!! Using Apple products cures cancer !!!
Exactly! It is like saying that Bill Gates is the wealthiest American ever. John D. Rockefeller by the time of his death in 1937, estimates place his net worth in the range of US$392 billion to US$663.4 billion in inflation adjusted dollars. That would be between 5 to 10 times more wealth than Gates in today’s money.
