Google’s parent company, Alphabet, hit a new milestone on Friday: a $2 trillion market cap.

Google is now the world’s fourth most valuable public company, right behind Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft, which has a market cap of just over $3 trillion and overtook Apple earlier this year for first place.

    So Apple became the first trillion dollar company and ~5 years later Google becomes the first A* 2 trillion dollar company. That rate of growth sounds inflated and unrealistic.

      Google becomes the first 2 trillion dollar company.

      Except no, because Google is still worth less than nVidia, Apple, and Microsoft. So one of them was the first $2 trillion company.
