Apple's profit in fiscal year 2012 is compared with that of the largest companies in the world (infographic)

  Those from The report of Statista they made an analysis of the profit generated in the last year by the big companies around the globe, and in the image above you can see everything. Apple ranks first with 41.7 billion dollars, in 2nd place are 6 companies whose cumulative profit reached 34.4 billion dollars, in 3rd place we have 6 more companies whose cumulative profit was 19.4 billion dollars and the list goes on . It is interesting that the difference between Apple and the 2nd place is almost 7 billion dollars, but in the 2nd place we have the cumulative profit, for an entire year, for 6 large companies.

  More interesting than that, is that Apple had a bigger profit than Dell, Intel, ASUS, Acer, IBM, Lenovo, HP, Walt Disney, News Corporation, Time Warner, Viacom and Comcast combined. The image puts into perspective the money that Apple earns compared to its direct competitors.
