Shares of the e-commerce giant gained about 2% in trading Tuesday to hit an all-time high of $2,050.27.

And even less so when it's the value of a 24-year-old company with a plethora of business units in addition to its core retail focus. For context, the entire US stock market — the sum of all publicly traded American companies including Amazon — hit $30 trillion back in January.
