Number of employees is around 60,000. 60% of employees: 36,000. 60% of market cap: $84 billion. $84B / 36,000 = $2.33 million. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] GorGor@startrek.website 7 points 3 months ago (1 child) gotcha. What about assets? Im not an accounting person, but we routinely buy tooling for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Raw materials have costs/value associated with them. How would that figure in? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Bob_Robertson_IX@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 months ago Those are operating costs, I'm referring to control of the board of directors. permalink fedilink source parent [–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 months ago If you want to compare it to salaries, I think you would need to do the year-over-year change. But even that wouldn't factor in all the bloated C-suite bonuses and such, so I feel like the calculations would end up being much more complex. For instance, if you work somewhere for 23 years making on average $100,000 per year, you'll have received about $2.3 million from that company over time. If that company's market cap increases by $2.3 million per employee in that course of time, then you would be about even by your metric. permalink fedilink source parent
