Inside the $5000000000000 Billion Apple Headquarters Inside the Massive Headquarter, 13 Fastory

Inside the $5000000000000 Billion Apple Headquarters Inside the Massive Headquarter, 13 Fastory What looks like a giant spaceship parked in the lush flats of Cupertino, California, is actually tech giant Apple's new HQ, fittingly named the Apple Park. This stunning architecture sprawls across 176 acres of land and might just be one of the most stunning campuses in the world. Despite its incredibly futuristic looks, the Apple Park has been a long time in the making, with Steve Jobs first announcing the project way back in 2006. It took 8 long years of planning, proposals, and permit applications, but by 2014 construction was well underway – and by 2017, the vast apple workforce was already starting to move in. The massive ring-shaped building is now an iconic symbol of the Apple brand and is a fantastic testament to the company's dedication to effortless design, sustainability, and the future of technology. It was originally estimated that the campus would cost just half a billion dollars to put together. However the land alone cost 160 million dollars and the cost quickly started to overrun. By 2011, the budget in place had multiplied to a little under 3 billion and when it was all said and done Apple were looking at a bill closer to 5. 5 billion is a big sum of money for any company to justify. Any company except apple that is who's currently worth two trillion dollars and is estimated to profit around 60 billion dollars by the end of this year alone. So where was all that money spent and what makes the Apple Park so incredible?
