There is a consensus that technology companies make money, but how rich are technology companies? Rich countries are no longer enough to describe them, and the income of some enterprises can surpass that of several developed countries in the world!

Apple

For example, Apple Inc, the global leader in science and technology and the first brother in market capitalization, has a huge net worth that exceeds the GDP of Italy, Brazil, Canada and Russia. In fact, only seven countries in the world have a GDP higher than Apple Inc's market capitalization, meaning the tech giant is richer than 96 per cent of the world's countries.

Apple Inc will replace the eighth richest country in the world, but only need to increase its market capitalization to more than $2.72 trillion to overtake France. Some people joked that for now, Apple Inc only needs to sell a few more iPhone if he wants to rank high.

The market capitalization of Microsoft is the same as that of GDP in Canada.

Microsoft Corp's market capitalization of US $1.8 trillion makes it the third largest company in the world after Apple Inc and Saudi Aramco.

Microsoft Corp's market capitalization is on a par with Canada's GDP and richer than many developed economies, including Australia, Spain and Indonesia. In fact, the market capitalization of Apple Inc and Microsoft Corp is more than that of all the Central European and Baltic countries combined!

Amazon.Com Inc's market capitalization is equivalent to the 14th largest economy in the world.

Amazon.Com Inc's business was unaffected by the epidemic and expanded rapidly during the outbreak, with its market capitalization soaring to $1.6 trillion, richer than 92 per cent of the world's countries.

What will Amazon.Com Inc be like as a country? If you compare the average income of the company with the per capita GDP. In terms of Amazon.Com Inc's total income and the number of employees employed, the per capita income is 351531 US dollars, more than any other country in the world. Bermuda has the highest per capita GDP in the world, at US $117089.

Overall, the market capitalization of nine companies can be included in the list of the world's 30 largest economies, most of them are large technology giants, such as Apple Inc, Amazon.Com Inc, Tesla, Inc., Alphabet Inc-CL C, Tencent and Facebook Inc. However, Saudi Aramco's market capitalization ranks 10th on the list, indicating that oil still has significant value and power in the world economy.

As the richest country in the world, America's $21 trillion GPD seems hard to surpass. But given that large companies must expand their product range, there may be no limit to their growth. After several years of iPhone upgrade and accessories upgrade, maybe Apple Inc will become "the largest economy in the world".
