Apple's CEO Tim Cook this week sold 196,410 shares of the company's stock, which had a total value of approximately $33.2 million based on the average sale price of the transactions, according to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing.

Cook received all of the shares that he sold this week as a performance-based stock award. Like other senior executives at Apple, he has a predetermined trading plan to sell company stock in accordance with insider trading laws.

Cook still owns nearly 3.3 million shares of Apple's stock following the sales, according to the filing. He has served as Apple's CEO since 2011.

In 2015, Fortune reported that Cook planned to "give away all his wealth."

Thanks, Michael Burkhardt!

I mean, good for him. Can't say he doesn't deserve it when you look at Apple's growth since he became CEO.

The other week I bought a single share of Apple stock. I did that after feeling disgusted… I found a calculator online where you put a product price and purchase date and it tells you how much it would be today in stock.

the powerbook g4 12" I bought in 2003, my first Mac, would be worth 1.3 million dollars today

??? inflation rate from Jan03 to Mar24 is worth +169%.
Did you pay your laptop $1.3m / 1.69 = 769k USD? It should be very high spec-ed I presume.
No he means that if he used the money he spent on the PB G4 buy Apple shares at the time, those shares would now be worth $1.3M.
