20 Reasons Why It Is Good To Be Google

I thought this would be a fun game to see how much Google is really worth. Sure we hear numbers thrown at us from time to time; we know their stock prices are ridiculous and that they’re one of the biggest companies in the world, but what does that mean to the average Joe? Let’s see how much we have to work with and what we can do with that money:

1. Currently, the market value of Google is right at $140 Billion. That’s $140,000,000,000.00.
2. That could make 140,000 people millionaires.
3. It would take someone making $50k annually, 2.8 million years to make that much.
4. It would take someone making $250k annually, 560,000 years to make that much.
5. You could buy every single song available at itunes, 40,000 times.

7. They could give every single American $450 each and every human on earth $20 and still have some left over.
8. While it is a lot of money, it’s a mere 1.5% of the U.S. National Debt

18. It would only pay for around 30% of the Iraq war.
