The tech giant that is Apple has recently become the first public company to reach a market value of $1 trillion. As for how this took place, the CEO, Tim Cook, says that the final push that got the company to the $1 trillion mark was the more recent Apple products, such as wearables, smart home devices, the App Store and Apple Pay.
To put into perspective just how much money $1,000,000,000,000 is, since Steve Jobs created Apple in his garage back in 1976 the company has increased in value by approximately $755 every second. On the other hand, if the company were to give away $1 every second from now on their value would reach $0 in 31709 years.
