Apple Inc. is the world's most valuable business in terms of market capitalization. Nevertheless, the company's stock has had a miserable couple of months.
Apple's stock price reached an all time high of $705.07 this past September, but it has since taken a series of tumbles, pulling about $170 billion of the company's market cap with it. At the time of publication, the price of a single Apple share hovered above $550, after a strong gain that Reuters says is "on track to become the biggest one-day gain since May 21."
According to Google Finance, Apple (AAPL) is still valued at over $540 billion, despite the prolonged pounding it's taken in the market. The Cupertino-based giant is worth over $100 billion more than the second most valuable firm, Exxon Mobil (XOM), whose market cap is currently around $400 billion.
Even still, a loss of $170 billion is no small potato. To give you a little perspective, we've complied a list of seven (somewhat ridiculous) products and businesses -- from space missions to exotic island paradises to beloved soft drinks -- that are worth about the same as what Apple lost in value recently.
