The Apple company announced last evening that it has collected no less than 246.1 billion dollars in liquidity and long-term investments. We are talking about a very large amount that exceeds the annual gross domestic product of many countries, but which is also much larger than the stock market capitalization of a very large number of companies around the globe.
Apple has constantly collected billions upon billions of dollars since the launch of the first iPhone model, and now it has come to have an extremely large amount of money available for whatever it needs. With the 246.1 billion dollars, Apple buys new companies annually and invests in research and development for new products and services, launched annually.
Of the total amount of 246.1 billion dollars that the Apple company currently has in various forms, 231 billion dollars are outside the USA. In this idea, the people from Apple keep most of the money away from the American territory because of the very high taxes imposed for the repatriation of the money, an extremely discussed topic in the last months in the country.
Although those from Apple claim that the repatriation of money to the US would be extremely good for the country, this will only be achieved if the taxes paid are low. At 231 billion dollars, Apple would pay tens of billions of dollars in taxes, and of course this will not be done, Tim Cook having completely different intentions regarding the evolution of Apple.
