Three of the most valuable stocks of all time include Apple, Microsoft and Berkshire Hathaway, according to Investopedia. In 2015, Apple became the first company in American history to reach a market capitalization of $700 billion, which at the time was twice the size of the oil giant Exxon Mobil.
In 1999, Microsoft became the first company in to close with a market capitalization of $600 billion, cites USA Today Money. The market capitalization is a company’s stock price multiplied by the number of shares outstanding. Since 2007, Apple’s market value rose from $100 billion to $700 billion in 2015, which many analysts call an “earth-shattering” valuation.
The highest stock price of all time belongs to Berkshire Hathaway, reaching $195,000
