Apple CEO Tim Cook's Net Worth Exceeds $1 Billion as Apple's Stock Soars

[Baymowe335]

I wanted to buy a few shares but Robinhood said it would take five days to do the transfer from my savings account.

Robin Hood is trash. Get a real brokerage account if you’re serious about investing.

 

[Baymowe335]

He's worth that now, it won't be long though, rightfully so.

As for Tim, he's a very capable leader but no CEO is worth that much...period.

It won’t be long? Yeah, it will be much more in all likelihood.

Or do you mean Apple is doomed? As people have been saying for years and been consistently and exceedingly wrong, more so every day?

As for not being “worth” it...yeah, he is. He’s made countless millionaires while creating $1.7T is shareholder value. Not just anyone can do that, or everyone would.

Tim Cook is special and is a genius. Jobs knew it too, which is why he was Apple’s highest paid executive and Steve gave him the company when it was time.

Hate on.

The best thing that happened for Apple retail was when they couldn’t stop buying American apparel shirts and start buying cheaper “made in China” shirts under the notion of supporting worldwide labor.

isn't American apparel making its stuff in Mexico ?

Remember everyone, tim is working 100k times harder than you so he's earned every penny

 

[Duncan-UK]

I’ll bet he “couldn’t be more excited or prouder” by the rising share price...

For all the glory of Apple products, if you look at Morningstar consumer electronics sector/category, Apple has performed nearly identically to the sector/category over every time period in the last 10 years.

Yeah, everything is up. Tim Cook takes care of the company, doesn't take big risks, etc, that's all.

 

[laptech]

The people in the company who make him a billionaire are the ones who are paid the lowest wages. Yeah, way to go Tim.

Everyone in the company has their role to play, and are compensated adequately for it.

 

[Tech198]

I think this is a great time to be poor... eh Mr. Cook??

 

[lleial]

Everyone in the company has their role to play, and are compensated adequately for it.

exactly. Plus they're working for a company that can keep their job safe!

 

[rmoliv]

So, in the world of big company CEOs he is poor...

 

[Ghost31]

Am i the only one surprised that the CEO of the most profitable company in the world wasn’t already a billionaire?

 

[MacBH928]

See...it pays to be a company employee don't believe all those people selling you entrepreneurship dreams.

I don't agree with a lot of what he did but seeing that Apple still exist and functioning I am glad, because other CEOs collapsed their companies including Enron, Yahoo, Sega, Atari, RadioShack

 

[cocky jeremy]

He's taken them from being worth under $1 trillion to now $2 trillion. I'd say that's worth a billion dollars to Apple.

 

[Baymowe335]

That’s not how this works.

He's taken them from being worth under $1 trillion to now $2 trillion. I'd say that's worth a billion dollars to Apple.

More like significantly under $1T, like $350B to nearly $2T.

 

[Baymowe335]

This won't be popular, but no one is really worth that much.

Tim Cook is.

 

[bad03xtreme]

I'm a little jealous...

 

[burgerrecords]

Am i the only one surprised that the CEO of the most profitable company in the world wasn’t already a billionaire?

Is Apple the most profitable company in the world?

 

[fredrik9]

I suspect it will only be a year or so before he hands over the reigns to the next CEO .... I'm betting that's Craig Federighi

Why do you think he's stepping down? There's been no indication of that right?

 

[burgerrecords]

What impresses me by far with Tim is his 110% dedication to his company and uncompromising values on privacy and accessibility. This CEO earned every dime, this truly is his life’s work

Relatively speaking, and limited to the well heeled consumer.

 

[iigsie]

In that case, slavery was nothing more than an opportunity, which is precisely how it was viewed by many at the time.

 

[SpectatorHere]

I can't believe he wasn't a billionaire already. How could he not have been????

 

[citysnaps]

I can't believe he wasn't a billionaire already. How could he not have been????

Seems to be a pretty modest guy. Until recently he lived in a townhome. And I've seen him walking in Palo Alto a few times, and in Starbucks with his iPad. Just by himself, no entourage.

 

[justperry]

Hate on.

What's that supposed to mean.

It won’t be long? Yeah, it will be much more in all likelihood.

Nope, there's more and more support to not allow businesses to grow that big and influential, you haven't paid attention lately.

Or do you mean Apple is doomed? As people have been saying for years and been consistently and exceedingly wrong, more so every day?

Nope, I am not that kind of guy, where do you read that, I have been using Apple products for a long time, and will be for much longer.
I do like Apple, I do not agree with everything (Apple does) like you do but they are doing a very good job overall.

As for not being “worth” it...yeah, he is. He’s made countless millionaires while creating $1.7T is shareholder value. Not just anyone can do that, or everyone would.

Tim Cook is special and is a genius. Jobs knew it too, which is why he was Apple’s highest paid executive and Steve gave him the company when it was time.

It's team work, the team makes that kind of money, without designers/programmers/hardware specialists Tim would be nothin, heck even cleaners have influence on Apple's performance.
So, NOPE, no CEO is worth that much, the team is.

Tim Cook is special and is a genius.

Genius, you gotta be kidding, he's just another Kiss A$$ corporate hypocrite.
I am not saying he's a nice guy in private, he probably is.
