The top ten companies earning the most profit per second
Apple is one of the world’s most profitable businesses, generating over $151 billion a day, which equates to $1,752 every single second.
To put that into context, the average weekly wage in the US currently stands at $1,237, meaning that the average American doesn’t even earn the same amount that Apple earns in a second, after a full week at work.
Fellow tech giants Microsoft and Alphabet (the parent company of Google) also draw in more than a thousand dollars each second, which works out at around $100 million a day.
