[ELI5] If Apple is a trillion dollar company, why isn’t the owner of Apple a trillionaire?
In: Economics
The CEO or President of a large company is rarely the owner. Apple is a publicly traded company, which means anyone can buy a share of the company. If you bought a share of Apple stock then you are a partial owner of Apple, along with millions of other people.
And since millions of people own shares of Apple, that trillion dollars is spread among them. That’s why no one person is a trillionaire at Apple.
