Microsoft has $56 Billion in cash.
 

To put Microsoft's cash position in perspective, $56 billion is enough to give every man, woman and child in the United States $100, buy all 30 Major League Baseball teams and still fund the government of Thailand for a year.

Have a nice day.

if that's not a fun fact, then I don't know what it is

IF I was Bill, I'd sell all my shares.. build a huge container on top of a hill and cash all my money in quarters which I would then keep inside the container. I'd then dress up like scrooge and wouldn't wear pants.

they earned it , dont be hatin

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh
Now that would be eccentric

do we receive sth for talking about microsoft's or bill funds?..

any extra money is welcome :winkwink:

samuel

I wonder what the company is worth?

I am sure he will be fine in his retirement! :Graucho

:1orglaugh

Wow.... That's a lot!!

lots of stupid people huh?

Maybe one day Bill will do that things :1orglaugh

if i was Bill... i'd buy out every major league baseball team and make them all... umm.. idk what i'd make them do, but i'd definately own the MLB so that's cool enough right there

Now that's a whole whack of cash :winkwink:

Damn... you can buy a lot of drugs with that money.

WOW :eek2

The US should pay its debts first I think...
And thats a shit load of money!

Just the interest on that cash is making more then most business will ever hope to make thats much in sales LOL

haha gread idea

Wonder when he will buy a small country :)

that has to change your world view and life view just a little :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

aren't there better comparissons?

They have around 56 billion times more in liquid funds than your net worth is? How's that?
Hey, you asked for it. Don't hate me.

I think they put it all into LINUX and accept the fact there software is just no good hahaha

Sounds like this plan has been given some serious thought

:1orglaugh

And then after causing a global shortage of metal, you would probably turn a profit selling all those quarters to China.

Hell no! They'd be my money.
I'd swim in them, like a fish.

thats awesome!

What's the u.s. debt, bush should hit him up for a loan

Yeh, and that's just the "Reported" cash. Imagine the "skim" they could do with all their worldwide operations.

I wonder who the genius is that they hired to manage that money. I'm sure whomever it is is the cream of the crop in investing and finance.

Really puts things into perspective :)
