The stocks people invest their money in it. Stocks are when you invest your money in a company so that you can own part of it. And when u do you make money if they make money. Basically Apple is a corporation. Which mean not just one person own it. Millions of people own it.

Put it this way if you invest $100 000 when apple did it's first round of financing it would be worth 11.8 BILLION DOLLARS today If you sold them all

They earn about $1.00 for every stock that is bought or sold. And tons are bought and sold each day. So they are rolling in money.
