Singapore is one of the wealthiest countries in the world owing to a government that is hyper-friendly towards business yet very strict on corruption.

The country boasts an astounding $70,000 GDP per capita rate and has been minting millionaires by the truckload despite the global economic turbulence of the last decade.

Singapore’s national GDP in 2016 is projected at $318 billion…and Apple is worth even more.

Wow. 

Also, Apple is worth more than all summer vacation spending by Americans in 2011 ($86B), according to a survey I helped with: http://www.travelagentcentral.com/trends-research/summer-travel-spending-hit-86-billion-29681.
