If you had invested $1,000 in Apple stock on Jan. 24, 1984, today, you would have $1,593,809. Likewise, if you had invested $1,000 in an index fund replicating Nasdaq, you would have $55,090.
And if you were lucky enough to get in at AAPL's inception at the end of 1980, that $1,000 investment would be worth over $2.1 million today, with an annualized return of 19.22%.
That means that $10,000 in AAPL stock purchased 20 years ago would be worth more than $4.85 million today, assuming reinvested dividends. The same amount invested in the S&P 500 20 years ago would be worth $51,148 today with dividends reinvested.
With a return of 3,830%, if you had invested $10,000 in Apple on June 29, 2007, you would now have $383,000, With dividends reinvested, that figure would improve to $469,000. That's a life-changing result from one investment, and Apple's gain since the debut of the iPhone offers a number of lessons for investors.
Had you invested $1,000 in Microsoft at its IPO, you would have acquired 47 shares at $21 per share. Adjusting for the stock splits, you'd actually have 13,536 shares today with a cost basis of $0.0729 per share. Given Microsoft now trades at $238.73 per share, that translates to a return of 327,401%.

If you invested $10,000 with founder Elon Musk 10 years ago, your stake would be worth $2.1 million now. That works out to a more than 70% average annual return.
Multiplied by the May 6, 2024, share price of ~$187 and that $1,000 investment in 1997 would now be worth $2,493,532.80. That's right, a mere $1,000 outlay in 1997 would yield investors nearly $2.5 million today (and a hefty tax bill from Uncle Sam).
