$862 million?

> Man, that's such a humbling stat. Many of us here don't even earn that in a lifetime!

FTFY

Unless I missed the /s ;)

Even more exaggerated than that. Many families don't earn that across several generations. That's about 17,000 years at $50,000/year. At 40 years of working life, you'd need over 400 people.

The combined income earned by anyone in the entirety of history who is the least bit related to me, adjusted for PPP, probably does not equal $800MM+.

Is this a weird meta-joke where you pretend to miss the joke?

We're also talking about one of the largest companies in the world, so it's really not that shocking.

And Apple saves a lot of money by not paying taxes /s

Oh it's just Apple?

No of course not. There's also Facebook, Amazon etc. etc. etc. But the article is about Apple.

Don't forget UWisc!

this is the best! I certainly don't make this much in a year.
