If I Was Steve Jobs, I’d Be $20 BILLION Richer Right Now

Apple let us in on their statistics of their forth quarter and I’ve got to say my jaws dropped when I first saw it. I’m still checking again and again if it was a billion or million because I’m still in a state of shock.

According to Apple’s official report, “the company posted record revenue of $20.34 billion and net quarterly profit of $4.31 billion, or $4.64 per diluted share. These results compare to revenue of $12.21 billion and net quarterly profit of $2.53 billion, or $2.77 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 36.9 percent compared to 41.8 percent in the year-ago quarter. International sales accounted for 57 percent of the quarter’s revenue.”

Now I’m warning you, the next piece of information might give you sleepless nights. Ready? Ok here goes:

“Apple sold 3.89 million Macs during the quarter, a 27 percent unit increase over the year-ago quarter. The Company sold 14.1 million iPhones in the quarter, representing 91 percent unit growth over the year-ago quarter. Apple sold 9.05 million iPods during the quarter, representing an 11 percent unit decline from the year-ago quarter. The Company also sold 4.19 million iPads during the quarter.”

Jaws dropped? Good, because that’s what Steve Jobs wants.

I mean it’s unbelievable that a company can do so well in just a few months. You may wonder “What is Apple going to do with all this money?” Well, it’s irrelevant right now but Apple may buy out FACEBOOK. Yeah….that’s right…FACEBOOK.

Three days ago Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerburg, owner of Facebook, had a date. Yeah thats right…a DATE!

Mark was invited to Mr. Jobs pad and they had a long talk, plus a long walk. Maybe they were discussing about Facebook and Ping, Apple’s social network, or maybe Steve had something else in mind. *wink wink*

According to some information I’ve collected the past day, Apple has a solid $51 Billion in banks, which is more than enough to clean sweep Facebook for life.

So what now? Well, Santa is going to bring the iPhone 4 in White this Christmas, which means more money for Apple reserved before 2011.

A Mac event on 20th October will probably have new Macbooks up its sleeve (again more money before 2011).

I guess Apple should now buy a country and name it “iSteve”
