Despite criticism and mass attacks against Apple, the company does just that, from year to year, it wipes the noses of even more successful, at first glance, competitors. What only cost the iPhone 7, which, contrary to the devastating forecasts of analysts, not only returned its producer to its former positions, but also directly contributed to the emergence of savings of more than 246 billion dollars. A huge amount, which will not be easy to imagine even the top ten of the Forbes list, and to spend it, you have to unscrew the imagination to the maximum.
IPhone 7 for every Indian.
Do you think not enough? As though not so. In any case, if you consider only the cost of the iPhone 7 and give one smartphone to each Indian from 15 years, then the solitaire must converge. Why from 15, ask? As practice showed, at this age the need for teenagers in a brand new iPhone reaches its peak, and to complaisant parents there is nothing else but to please your child with a purchase on credit. India is here only as an example.
Private island for each employee.
No matter how large a company was a modern Apple, the cash available in its stock would be more than enough to buy a pretty decent and equipped island for any member of the "apple" team. Deciding Apple for such a step, even not the most efficient employee of corporate retail could have acquired its own piece of land somewhere in the Indian Ocean worth $ 2 million.
Grab the media industry.
If buying private islands for sales consultants seems to you wasteful, the idea of ??securing a company on the media market looks much more promising. An excellent start to this would be the purchase of entertainment conglomerate Time Warner, owning the rights to many popular TV shows, films and even comics. It would not be superfluous in the list of possessions Apple would be corporation Netflix, 21 Century Fox and cable channel CBS. In the end, if there is no shortage of money, why not take it?.
Become a monopolist in the market of music services.
And how do you like this idea? According to colleagues from The Motley Fool, who published this list, it looks very promising. In any case, 50 million subscribers, like Spotify, on the road are not lying around and will be an excellent addition to the already existing Apple Music 20 million. There you can add Pandora and Tidal services to the heap. Such a purchase will cost Apple at some $ 12 billion. Add to the list of acquisitions can be no less popular service Sirius XM, as well as Sony Entertainment.
Provide the whole EU with the Internet.
Very noble deed, do not you think? Perhaps, the idea arose among Apple's investors about where to put the whole state of the company, they would certainly think about providing the population of the European Union with a connection to the Global Web. After all, spend on it will have nothing at all - a little more than 20 billion to give the whole year the opportunity to enter the network on a broadband connection to every European family.
