In August 2018, Apple became the world's first trillion-dollar company. Less than six years later, there are now three $3 trillion companies.
Between the lines: Apple shares closed on Thursday at a valuation of $3.283 trillion, just 0.09% higher than the market cap of Microsoft. Still, this marks the first time since January that Apple's closing valuation has been the highest in the world.
Follow the money: The three companies combined are now worth $9.75 trillion. If you had that much money in $100 bills, they would make up a stack 6,600 miles high.
