Apple has become the first American company to be valued at $2 trillion as it crossed the $2 trillion dollar mark on Wednesday after being the first in the world to cross the $1 trillion mark in August 2018.
This makes the iPhone, Mac computers, and Apple wristwatch makers the most valuable company in the world and means that the company’s net worth is higher than the entire gross domestic product of the entire 48 countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
According to data provided by the World Bank, the GDP of the entire region was $1.75 trillion at the end of 2019.
Apple is not the first company in the world to cross the $2 trillion dollar mark as government-owned Saudi Aramco hit the milestone in December 2019 but the COVID-19 pandemic and low oil prices have impacted the company’s value.
After suffering stock value decline at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Apple shares are currently trading at $467.78 per share and the company is planning a four-for-one split at the end of August to make the shares affordable for investors.
This split will not affect the company’s value as it would now have more shares trading at a lower price.
Amazon and Mircosoft are also inching close to the $2 trillion mark while Alphabet, the parent company of Google, is now worth more than $1 trillion.
