Bill Gates "cash on hand" is closer to his net worth than most rich people. The exact amount
Yeah Microsoft was doing 15-40 billion PROFIT every year for 15+ years before Apple wasnt seeing billions like that til late 90// early 2000s (imac then ipod).
to put in simple terms if I make $200,000 a year profit 15 years before you and you were only making $20,000 a year for that time period and then for the previous years I still made $200,000 but you made $300,000 - id still have a lot more money. Microsoft is known for having (and even being caught) many unknown off shore accounts
majority owner of Pixar sorry got them confused.
ok i guarantee you bill gates doesn't have 80 billion in cash breh. But regardless this doesn't change anything about Apple being as profitable as they are. They have more cash reserves than Microsoft by a large margin. Again, they could buy Verizon and still have more reserves than Microsoft does now.
Microsoft definitely is still a big player in the game, but they're not feasting like they used to, especially in mobile where they're basically dead.
