@@peraltaisrael2598 they also like many other expensive things, like houses, medical care and electronic devices. It is just that oil and cars require very large scale to become profitable, that is why they dominate this list.
Only if you are an investor that wants to earn some money. Revenue = industry. Its what people gives a job, its what a country makes strong. The United States as a whole, does not make profit because it needs to borrow money every year. Nevertheless its the most powerfull nation in the world due to its largest revenue.
@@evzenvarga9707 I'm talking about the size of Japan in landmass. There's a reason they went and conquered Korea and Manchuria in the 30s. They needed resources which Japan (the land mass) didn't have.
Japan is in no way a small country. Also, they could have easily surpassed America but then there economy stagnated like crazy in the mid 90s, due to a rapid aging population. They still maintain the 3rd spot in terms of GDP, but they have stopped growing
@@TG-ts3xn Where there is anglo-american colonialism, their companies win. And it has been like that for the past two centuries. Anyway, this uighur thing is a nice back-up operation for the Five Eyes "empire", since that failed pseudo "color revolution" in Hong Kong.
In 2018 shell made 330 billion in revenue.(income before costs) Their market capitalization over the last 20 years has fluctuated between 100 billion and 300 billion.(what the company is worth) That's like Tesla having to make over a trillion dollars worth of cars a year.(like 17 million) That's a 32 times increase in production. I'm amazed Shell can manage to stay afloat let alone conspire against green energy companies.
@@SaucyAlfredo with actual investment in these technologies, they could be made ultra-efficient and reliable. (Think about it, an electric car has 1 moving part, the rotor inside the motor housing. Compare that to a Ford Ecoboost engine, or even the little gas generator backup in a hybrid).
@@SaucyAlfredo solar and wind can get better with battery storage so the power keeps flowing even when the sun isn't shining or the wind isn't blowing (or blowing too much, modern turbines have a maximum wind speed before the brakes apply to prevent catastrophic damage.)
Thats what i was thinking too! Might be hard to find though because i dont think i have ever seen a profit one of these and some companys dont disclose profits to the public like epic as an example, they were forced to by the court
Japan got screwed by the Americans. Now they are trying very hard to screw the Chinese. Difficult because China is able to translate plans into reality, given its resources, its ability to muster the nation's will towards a clear goal, and its great leap forward in technology and science. Chinese characteristics. Hard work, determination, drive, thrifty and always saving for rainy days. China’s population is educated, enthusiastic, patriotic and incredibly productive.
I guess you went to the refrigerator from 0:13 - 0:31. Just change your comment from Toyota to ExxonMobil, and add the words until the last second. Then I'll delete my comment and nobody will notice the difference lol
@@wenbinxu1951 only partly He is trying very socialist concept like chong an City and is becoming nationalist but economically Xi is still trying to cooperate and trade as much as possible with the world
Whoaaaa i had no idea Walmart was such a destroyer of economic worlds, i was rooting for it the whole time. Saudi Arabia dropped in there out of nowhere
I expect the oil from Saudi Arabia was being sold for comparable amounts the whole time, but through several different companies that were consolidated into Saudi Aramco at the moment it appeared...a merger deletes several smaller players and creates one larger one, but doesn't typically change the revenue totals much (unless the merger significantly reduced competition, and that market power was used to fleece customers). A graph based on raw revenue like this may be less of an analysis of where the world's valuable goods come from than of who the largest sellers of goods are.
@@knit-abroad-glideI guess that means in this case it's likely that they weren't reporting the numbers the way publicly traded companies do, and that's why they weren't visible in the earlier data.
If your a fan of history at all it's fun to watch the years go by attributed to the major conflicts that happened...before even world war 1, 2, the cold war, and Vietnam to name just a few... you can see the huuuge swings forecasting a storm...then when the conflict is over, one side falls off the map.
Wrong. Its 60% dutch and 40% english. So dutch people form a majority in this company and thus have 100% of the power. Moreover its headquarters are located in the Hague in the Netherlands and its CEO is van Beurden which is a dutch guy. So its 100% dutch and these Brittish investors that own 40% of the minority of the shares can fck off.
@@DoccyStars Just stop stealing our companies. Accept that the UK is a joke nowadays. You dont have industries nor big companies like the Netherlands. Just accept that and stop stealing dutch pride! We have Royal DUTCH Shell, ASML, Phillips and ING (also in this video in top 10). UK has nothing.
@@corne1717 So you admit the UK owns 40% of Shell through shares, alongside watching a video where BP is also owned by the UK then claim that they have nothing
Amazon’s business model was surprisingly unprofitable for many years at the start, but as time went on and they began to monopolise online shopping, their revenue shot up as they exponentially grew.
This would've been a lot more helpful if the colours matched what each company does. For example one colour for oil/gas, another for electricity, another for automobiles, another for retail, technology etc.
You could google the company names off course Or have some overall world economic knowledge. Or guess it to be oil everywhere unless Japan and Germany where it is cars
I mean, sinopec, china national petrol, royal dutch shell, Aramco, and BP are oil State grid corp of china is the Chinese national electric grid, which is mostly based on coal power plants
I was a valet in fort worth and would talk to this one lady when I parked her cars for years. Not realizing her father created walmart and I had been talking to one of the richest woman on earth on a weekly basis...
@@Nick-lx4fo I could have been but i was very young and had no ambitions. I met plenty of rich people through that job. I never asked any of them for money or jobs but I did go to some amazing parties. I think I'm largely desensitized to wealth and expensive cars at this point so I wouldn't recommend the job.
So Toyota is the definitive Japanese leader, after literal DECADES And didnt seem to have such power AT ALL in the beggining of the video, LOOOOL #Lovejapan
Yes surprising, Mitsui Id never expect either And I wouldnt expect Toyota to be one of the vehicles leaders even in 2020！！！(And Amazon so low, Xiaomi not appearing, etc) Really full of surprises
This actually makes sense because during crisis the economic sector of food retail turns defensive... The most recent example being the current crisis of covid 19 with all food retailers and supermarkets in general increasing their revenue and gross sales. Quite a contrast to the economy as a whole, which entered a recession in 2020... In my country, Greece, the supermarket companies increased their total sales in 2020 by a double digit ranging from 8-12% from company to company, while at the same time Gdp of Greece is expected to drop around 9,5-10% in 2020...That is mentioned just as an example, to food retail turning defensive 😊
Walmart is countercyclical, meaning that when the economy goes south, MORE people go to Walmart to buy their cheap, cheap products. That's why they're so powerful: so many people are poor in America that they will continue to buy more stuff from Walmart. This means that Walmart becomes more powerful, which means wages are kept lower by Walmart, which means more poor people are created, which means more people shop at Walmart. It's a vicious cycle that Walmart is able to profit off of very handsomely.
Well when you think about how old they are compared to all the oil/car companies. If its a marathon amazon sprinted to catch them and made it. They would probably be number 1 in a few years
@John Ashtone They wanted to become dutch in 2018 ;) But dutch politicians from the green social spectrum scared Unilever away by saying that they should pay more taxes. Then the UK shareholders declined the transition to the Netherlands and because they didnt want to be both dutch and english they decided to move to the UK. The UK was thus the 2nd option, they prefered Holland.
Oil companies have a lot of competition in the top 10. It will be interesting to see where Amazon ranks on the list here in 2025, and if Walmart drops a bit.
Well if you consider Walmart a company that sells mostly Chinese products, the four top spots are China; which explains them throwing their weight around in recent years.
If you consider the fact that most if the energy that Chinese utilty company's comes from thr middleast then the middleast is actually in top.....its doesn't work that way
Anglo-Dutch to be precise. It was an amalgamation 100 years ago of Royal Dutch Petroleum and the Shell Transport Company. It has joint headquarters in Den Haag and Westminster. To make things more confusing, the current CEO is from Finland.
Yaay we are so proud of it, especially what they are doing in poor countries im proud to come from the Netherlands. O btw, we also are very good with sarcasm
@@joermnyc Amazon may have payed only about 120M$ in Federal taxes since it was founded, but rest assured it's share holders are getting absolutely shafted with capital gains taxes, that I estimate (I couldn't find data about Jeff Bezos' personal tax burden) are measured in the tens of billions, distributed around the company's share holders. So they are paying. Just very indirectly and not enough
@Gaussianform So they are subject to dividend taxes, (that according to Investopedia are set at the exact same rates), big fucking deal. And as for capital gains, of course it's taxed only at sale, a stock isn't worth shit if you don't sell it, it's effectively a piece of paper in a shed. But when they do sell, they get shafted with the accumulated capital gains taxes of all the years since they bought the shares in the first place. So the one who shouldn't spread misinformation is you
@@sheevpalps3846 and nice because you have learnt it from Western Propoganda. The CCP would have fucked SGC if they didn't cooprate with workers. Because they're still a lil bit Marxist. Just like CCP has done with AliBaba because of Monopoly tactics but West thinks it is because he criticizes them. It isn't true, please use your mind. We know that China is doing a cultural genocide, but there is enough Truth to support your Anti-China narrative. Both West and China have on le common Enemy.
@@crazyshorts4278 It's true that State Capitalist tendencies from Western influence is one of the largest contributors but there has been plenty of evidence that shows the Chinese government has silenced other dissenting companies and groups. Monopoly tactics are only a fraction of Alibaba's fate. In order for Marxist theory to come true, there must be a mediating figure to make sure everyone is truly equal. Which creates a paradox in which the government must fill that role. The result? Authoritarianism. I'm sure you recognize that, and I agree with the crux of the argument.
