Hi RankingCharts, could you share where this data is from?
You forgot Tesla is also a $1T company in 2021
please update :)
Until 2010: Oil and finance
After 2010: Tech
Saudi Aramco is an oil company but yea most of them are Tech
Oil and finance and telecommunications
And drugs and cigars
Shows China not very innovative😸😸😸
Because tech is the future and oil is slowly being replaced by non fossil fuels in many countries
I see that in 1987 Japanese companies really take off and dominate this list for a short while. I think this was preceeded by an agreement to devalue the dollar relative to other major currencies via the Plaza Accord of 1985. This is also shortly before there was an asset bubble in Japan which resulted in something like stagflation.
Obviously bcz of US policies in there...
the Plaza Accord was a very sinister move by the US that totally killed off the Japanese economy. Even till date its economy is still suffering from the aftermath.
@@riser7795 The same could be said for the US economy as jobs and manufacturing left the US to Japan, Hong Kong, the other Asian "Tiger" economies and most recently, China, throughout the 1990's to now.
@@riser7795 well, US was affected by the previous system and after 1985 as there was no need for usa to subsidize Japan due to cold war ending it was made equal.
@Arieta These figures are a bit dated (2017) but I think they are interesting nonetheless:
JAPAN DEBT VS GDP 236%
US DEBT VS GDP 103%
I'm sure given the recent spending of the past several years, this has changed significantly, especially for the USA. It reminds me of an old saying... "A rising tide does not lift all boats." If this is or is not true I do not know but I would bet a falling tide lowers them all.
That was super cool, thanks for putting it together.
I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for...

Amazing video, very inciteful. Although it also highlights the limited scope of Market Cap in assessing comany. For example black rock that is he control shareholder of 7 out of 10 of the top comoanies in the last few years of this diagram.
That brief moment in 2009-2011 where Petrobras made it to like #5, I was in Brazil. The economic and social environment was so different than what it was when I returned for a trip in 2019. It’s so insane how quickly and abruptly economic cycles take hold in Latin America. The relative prosperity that one company’s revenues managed to bring to a nation the size of Brazil, in two years, was palpable (the dollar was almost 1/1 against the real, and gas was super-cheap!), to then see that same population slipping into lower HDI and GDP indexes lower than before the 2010s, and gasoline going up to near American prices. Gnarly
Surges like that are generally indicative of shenanigans.
there's a reason why the U.S is such a world power. Americans know how to do business.
Gasoline is cheaper in the US than in Brazil today (March, 19th, 2022). In Brazil, 1 gallon of gas in around US$ 5.64. This is different of the American price of US$ 4.26.
Near American? We pay more for our gas than in the US, if you use the wages in Brazil as comparison. But about the rest, you are basically right, the 2010s were a lost decade and we are still trying to recover from it
@@caiomansourcastilho4614 Really, why do Brazilians pay so much for gas?
Microsoft's consistency is amazing. Once they made it to this list, they stayed there.
The business world pretty much runs on Microsoft software.
Microsoft's monopoly is amazing. Microsoft's stranglehold on the desktop held software progress back for two decades, and it enabled the disaster known as IE plus lead to the easy spreading of malware.

The momentum of Japan in the latter half of the 1980s was great. Currently, Toyota and Sony are the only Japanese companies in the top 100.
People really forget how crazy japans economy was back then. Literally was the only country to rival the US gdp in a 100+ years
@@JaKingScomez China rivals the US in GDP now. Though the Chinese are dirt poor on a person to person basis compared to Americans.

And also company called keyence.
@@JaKingScomez Yeah but given inflation, 2 trillions in 1880s is basically 5-7 today
1986-93 you can really see the Japanese real estate bubble go full force
It popped in 1991.
I lived in Tokyo 84-88 and again 92-96. It was a wild ride. My rent was a roller coaster (I was paid in US dollars).
@@MyBelch my father also told me about this they used to live in Japan back then now we in us.
I have no clue how the economy works but it’s sure cool seeing which businesses come out of no where!
1984 was when AT&T was forced to break up their monopoly. Late 80s saw a massive boom in the Japanese economy, hence the sudden explosion of Japanese banks.
The past 3-5 years show how overinflated the market really is.
Bubbly right 😣
Mind blowing. I think it will be time for a crash like 2008
@@rs3performance515 that's the thing. typically there was a recession every 7 years. We're overdue for 15 years. Something bad is going to happen big time, when? I don't know. One thing is for sure, western governments printed 40% of all currency in the history of humanity over the last 18-24 months to 'help' people during the grossly mismanaged pandemic. With economies at scale so large, it will take some time before the hyperinflation hits, but once it does, it'll be like the titanic hitting the iceberg.

Fun fact: TSMC is the most significant one on the list. If Taiwan is compromised, electronic devices will come to a halt.
TSMC need to replicate their operation in the USA, Apple should help them.
If TSMC is haulted then the USA, China or really any other economically stable country can just start producing them instead. Samsung already is trying to in the US.
@@thundurr Nobody can produce them which is why they're so valuable. The process is crazy. I'm sure this will change in the next few years tho. But yes luckily they're working with US to start producing them here

Once upon a time, Japanese companies almost had occupied the whole list. I see why the US government waged the trade war against Japan at the time.
The US government will once again wage a trade war, against China.
I don't like the Chinese Communist Party, but the US government's approach is not fair.
Ahh that brief moment post GFC that Australia made it to no.4 with BHP Billiton due to the mining boom we had. Didn't realise how powerful they became at that time.
And ironically the vast majority of their growth in that period was China's economy accelerating like crazy.
To be fair, BHP is still the largest mining company in the world, and I believe Rio Tinto is still 2nd, so Australia is still a dominant player in mining.
A shout-out to any American, Brit or Australian expats who lived in Japan through the 1980s-mid 1990s, in the financial sector. What a wild ride it was. Watching this video brings up more memories, feelings and emotions than any movie.

GE had a very good run under Jack Welch. The stock got as high as $180 a share. They did a 3/1 split and the shares were $60 each. By the time I retired in 2009 they were $42.50 (when I gave up and cashed in) and eventually got down to about $7 each.
He did that by chop shopping the company. Neutron Jack Welch destroyed every major company he has touched. Enriched himself in the short term by liquidating the long term assets of companies established by other, better, people.
@@Yaivenov You are so right. I heard that they called him Neutron Jack because he was like a bomb. When he dropped in nothing was left standing but the walls. Oddly enough I met him twice. Once when the annual shareholders meeting was held in our small town and he and his wife came out to the plant, and 2nd when we went to Fairfield Connecticut to present one of the "next best production ideas" to a team of CEOs.
@@CarolinaGirl-it5gl A bomb isn't a bad analogy but neutron radiation is just highly destructive even not as a bomb; it takes stable useful matter (companies) and makes it unstable and unusable.
Neutron Jack welched on his responsibility to the company.
Jack Welch sacrificed long-term growth for short-term profits and made a fortune for himself at the expense of shareholders years later (not to mention the catastrophic environmental damage). He's exactly what is wrong with the modern-day boardroom. No long-term outlook, cut everything and watch the number go up, then parachute away.
And all it cost was environmental pollution, public healthcare catastrophes, and thousands of lost jobs. Love capitalism!

That 1987 stock market crash really hurt... OUCH!
Very interesting, especially seeing the number of non-American companies I'd never heard of.
Thanks for putting this together.
Few weird things about this.
Firstly, "Shell Oil" and "Royal Dutch Shell" are shown as two companies. "Royal Dutch Shell" isn't the name of any company, the modern company is simply called Shell (changed in 2021), it formed from the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and Shell Logisitics in the early 1900s. It's also not Dutch, it's British - the Dutch part of the company became absorbed by the larger British half. Still, the "Royal Dutch" part doesn't indicate it's nationality - it's simply a legacy.
So are ExxonMobil and Mobil (Mobil merged with Exxon to form ExonMobil, they never existed at the same time).
Correct except for the fact that the Dutch part was the bigger one. Royal Dutch represented 60% and Shell transport and trading 40%
Wish the content creator continued these charts!
Great video! Could be improved by adding company logos.

I once saw someone named Carlos Slim, a Mexican, be the richest man in the world in 2015, richer than Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, he wasn't into oil so I dug deeper to see how he made his fortune. He owns a telecommunications company that sells pre-paid phone cards to people, he had 90% of Mexico's population using his phone carriers, so tens of millions of Mexicans were buying "talk time" phone cards every day. Now I know how he made his money.
American Movile His country is hated, why did he buy that company from a government privatization, and he also paid a lower price than it was worth, and its prices were very expensive.

In 1985, the Plaza Accord was signed by Noboru Takeshita and Yasuhiro Nakasone, who are pro-American factions, and the yen appreciated sharply. This is to destroy the export manufacturing industry. Twenty years have passed since then, and GDP has been overtaken by China.
