A trillion dollars worth of Buffalo specialties

Apple announced the company is worth more than $1 trillion dollars early in August. According to CNN Money, one billion iPhones have been sold since 2007 and the phone makes up 62% of Apple's total revenue. Amazon also announced shorty after that it is also worth over a trillion dollars. 

But how much really is a trillion dollars? We made the astronomical number more understandable...

The new models are named iPhone XS ($999), iPhone XS Max ($1,449), and iPhone XR ($799). iPhone XS is an upgrade in size and camera quality. iPhone XS Max has a larger display and the iPhone XR is the "lower end" version. 

The phones officially go on sale September 21st. 

Math: 

Wings: Wings from Anchor Bar $1.20. $1 trillion/$1.20= $833 billion wings. $833 billion wings/365 days= 2.28 billion. 2.28 billiondays/10 million wings =228 years. 

Caps: $1 trillion/ $25 per cap= 40 billion caps/ 1,132,300 people (Population in Buffalo) = 35,326 caps per person 

Sabre: $1 trillion/$169 million (Sabre team value) = 5,917 teams 

Luxury Yachts: $1 trillion/$600 million= 1,666 yachts 

Buffalo Bills: $1 trillion/ $1.6 billion (Bills team value) = 625 teams 

Terry Pegula: $1 trillion/ $4.5 billion (Terry Pegula net worth) = 222 Pegulas 

Niagara Falls: $1 trillion/ $2 billion (Annual tourism spending) = 200 Niagara Falls tourism sites 

Buffalo City: $1 trillion/ $80.3 billion (Gross Metro product, value of all final goods and services produced)= 12 Buffalo Cities
