Just how much cash does a company need to earn to be worth $625 Billion dollars? Let’s take a gander.

Last night, ahead of the big Apple event which undoubtedly will bring in billions of new revenue  from those holding out for the new iPhone 5 — I was curious just how much cash Apple, a $625 Billion dollar company brings in on a daily basis.
