15 Things Apple Can Do With Its Whopping $137 Bn Cash Pile


#7 Buy 80 Endeavour Space Shuttles

The ultra rich people are known for lining up expensive cars in their huge garages, but Apple with $137.1 billion to lavish upon, can line up about 80 Endeavours in their privately constructed hangers. NASA spent around $1.7 billion on Endeavour, the space shuttle orbiter built to replace Challenger. With $137.1 billion, Apple could just stretch it enough to buy 80 space shuttles.

#6 Buy A Private Island

The average cost for a private island in the Caribbean appears to be in the region of $3.5 million to about $47 million, give or take ten million or so. That may not sound like a big deal for Apple if it wants to buy an island, but if GDP of Cook Islands is considered, which is about $183.2 million, it seems Apple can buy a island which goes by the name of the company’s CEO Tim Cook.
