Apple CEO Tim Cook Earned $74.6 Million in 2024

Thomas Frist is the founder of HCA Healthcare with a revenue of 60+ billion dollars

Patrick Shoon-Shiong owns the LA Times (and is messing that up), and has founded the company NantWorks, which has numerous subsidiaries.

They made their fortune by being businessmen. Being a physician is a stepping stone toward that, but they're not earning billions by being physicians. This isn't complicated

I’m just glad you stepped up. Still not sure how they relate to Musk, but we’ll let that one fly if you want. Because the link to Musk makes no sense.

FYI. Most atheletes (Michael Jordan is a prime example) are businessmen as well. With him in particular, he used his business acumen to get the Air Jordan deal before he did anything crazy on the court. He made his money in marketing, not winning basketball games. In the exact same way Frist made his money in his field. They start off with a 'thing' and they develop it.

So bringing it full circle. The initial post mentioned a whole heap of professionals where people in those professions made billions, including doctors. The Doctor example was only to show that many professionals can earn billions in their field, not just CEO's and Athletes. And as you’ve said, earning revenue of $60B+

To use your words, being an athlete is a stepping stone toward that (becoming a billionaire), but they're not earning billions by being athletes. This isn't complicated

Cook isn’t earning billions making iPhone's. His earning millions being the head of a company that earns earns billions making iPhones.

Those posts don’t ever actually relate to the truth. When you dislike someone as much as the dislike Cook, it’s made personal, where facts aren’t actually relevant and it’s more about the storyline they are trying to portray. Say something long enough and people might start to believe it, as their followers clearly do as well. Ignore the truth if they add to the narrative.

It actually was true at the time the statement was made. These companies all paid a million dollars to an incoming president, and had at that time not donated anything to the LA Fire relief. In the reply, the response makes a statement that Apple “intends to” make a donation. That’s great, the situation will change in the future. No grand conspiratorial lying narrative campaign necessary.

So you’re saying your timing made the post of that graphic relevant. Maybe you could post an update. It was a shot at Apple with a spin to demonstrate a point and you know it. I standby my comment of: it’s more about the storyline they are trying to portray. Discarded your graphic as b.s. propaganda. Don't let facts get in the way will you? Enjoy.
