    Hey, how would you like to hear some truly astounding numbers thrown around, the kind of numbers that make you realise where many of that wealthy one percent make their money?

    If you answered yes then you’re in luck, with the Wall Street Journal having released a list of the world’s top 20 countries according to PricewaterhouseCoopers. Let’s dive right in then:

    Wow, those folks over at Apple are doing pretty OK. As the above graph shows, they absolutely dwarf everyone else on the list. But for a better sense of just how massive they are, let’s list these points from Gawker:

    Apple is worth almost twice as much as the world’s second largest company, Google (valued at $375 billion).
    Apple is worth as much as the second and third largest companies in the world (Google and ExxonMobil) combined.
    Apple is worth more than Walmart, Facebook, and JPMorgan Chase combined.
    Apple is worth more than the gross domestic products of Pakistan, Peru, and the Philippines combined.
    Apple is worth more than the net worth of the fourteen richest people on earth combined—a list that includes Carlos Slim, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Larry Ellison, Michael Bloomberg, the Koch Brothers, and the entire Walton family.
    Apple is worth more than $100 billion more than the entire 2014 United States defense budget, which includes all spending on the armed forces and Defense department and related departments and all international wars.

     Much of Apple’s success comes off the back of a soaring stock price, something pretty evident from the graph below:

    Remember these figures next time you promise to take your business elsewhere – your money is but one drop in a rapidly expanding ocean
