Cash On Hand!!!
60 Billion, and that was Cash on Hand, meaning that was money they have just sitting around doing nothing. This was also money that continues to grow and grow without a lot of cost.

Some of this was spent in a share-buyback program last year as you will read with the link provided.

Cash on Hand is generally play money a company has for re-investing or donating to a good cause such as to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Act like you know what the hell is going on sometime.
