Every once in a while, we get a "How much would Microsoft had made if they had held their Apple stock until now" article.

Here's one from 2020:

>Microsoft held approximately 18.1 million shares in Apple at the time it started selling them. Since then, multiple stock splits have taken place: one on a 2-for-1 basis on February 28, 2005, and one on a 7-for-1 basis on June 9, 2014. This means those 18.1 million shares would have been 253.4 million shares as of today.

Multiply that by the current stock price of $503.43, and the result is a whopping $127.5 billion stake.
