What's Apple actually worth?

Mac Mac What's Apple actually worth? FORMAT system and still have enough left over for some Ferraris and fancy yachts. The only way to really appreciate the incredible size of Apple's market valuation is to work out what else you could buy with the same money. Never mind posh holidays, the odd day out and a new sportscar: we're talking nce you get beyond a certain amount of money, the numbers become so big U that they're mind-boggling: Apple's $619 billion valuation (E389 billion in real money) means it's worth more than every single publicly traded company in Spain, Portugal and Greece combined. Even Apple's bank account has the best part of $100 billion buying entire countries, funding the Olympics in it, and as The Guardian reports, that's enough to pay for the entire UK education FORMAT 619 billion dollars sounds like a lot, but what can it get you in the real world? The short answer appears to be... everything 257 and buying a luxury limousine for every day of the week.
