Does Apple really have $280 billion in cash? What concept! Better than the GDP of many countries! !

What is the concept of this number? According to the latest economic ranking, Apple's cash reserves can rank 62nd. Generally speaking, if Apple is regarded as an economy, it can be regarded as the 62nd "country".

What do you mean "as rich as an enemy"? We use two sets of data to illustrate.

The data shows that in 20 16, the gross domestic product (GDP) of Denmark was 264.8 billion US dollars, which was not much different from that of Apple. Finland, which belongs to the Nordic region, has a GDP of $230 billion in 20 16, even lower than Apple's cash reserves.

The data shows that the cash held by Apple is higher than the "cash plus bonds" held by the US government, which can be regarded as a milestone for Apple-the technology company with the highest market value in the world has defeated the most powerful government in the world in terms of financial strength.
