Given that Apple (AAPL -0.69%) is one of the most successful companies in history, it probably won't surprise you to hear that its stock is a favorite among money managers and investors. Its top five shareholders control $107.9 billion worth of its outstanding common stock, equating to an ownership interest of 16.9%.
That may seem like a substantial stake, and it is, but it's nevertheless meaningfully smaller on a percentage basis than other leading companies. JPMorgan Chase (JPM 0.64%) and Tesla (TSLA -2.04%) serve as cases in point:
- JPMorgan Chase's five biggest shareholders control 19.1% of the bank's outstanding stock. That equates to $44.5 billion worth of JPMorgan Chase's shares.
- Tesla's five biggest stockholders own 28.7% of its stock. The total dollar value of their stakes translates into $9.3 billion worth of Tesla's shares.
So, who are Apple's five biggest shareholders? You can find the answer to this question in the brief slideshow below.
