The tax to repatriate the cash to USA was/is punitive compared to borrowing locally.Not sure whether President Trump was able to successfully eliminate/reduce the tax Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation Wealth=Income + Investments - Lifestyle

What's the rationale for holding such a huge swath of liquid cash? Some companies generate so much cash they do not know what to do with it!!! A company like Microsoft does not even manufacture anything so it is not like they need to pay suppliers or anything. For Microsoft I know it was also a deliberate decision made by the founders early on that they wanted to keep enough cash to run the company for I don't remember what number of years even if no revenue was coming in. Jobs had the same principle from his experience in the early days of Apple when they were struggling. Even locally Safaricom generates so much cash that they just give it all away as dividends.
