Apple's $10,000 Stake Grows to $275,594 Under Tim Cook Leadership

A $10,000 investment in Apple on August 24, 2011, when Tim Cook became CEO, has grown to $275,594 today.

The value of this investment fell below its starting point within months of Cook's tenure as head of the company. Those who sold at any of these troughs would have lost most of the potential gain.

The biggest acceleration in growth came later in Cook's run, and those who held on to their shares until then saw a return of $275,594. This serves as a benchmark for Apple under its new CEO, John Ternus.
