Tim Cook's Legacy: Apple Investment Grows from $2,800 to $1 Million
A father who invested in Apple stock at the start of Tim Cook's tenure has revealed how his holding grew to become one of the largest assets in his daughter's portfolio, worth over $1 million.
The investment was made 15 years ago when Cook took over as CEO after Steve Jobs' passing. The OP started with 200 shares valued at around $14 each, resulting in an initial investment of approximately $2,800.
In 2026, this holding is now worth $65,161, representing a staggering 2221.94% profit. Notably, Apple's share price has seen significant growth over the years, with a $10,000 investment made back in 2001 potentially yielding around $9.56 million today.
The OP's advice to others was that it is possible to generate generational wealth with 'fairly normal incomes.' He also shared his regret for being late in investing in Nvidia, which has been one of the most booming stocks in recent memory.
