This visualization is an analysis to compare the largest publicly listed companies headquartered in each high‑income economy, as defined by the World Bank for the 2024–2025 fiscal year.

Data Source: Market capitalization figures were sourced from MarketCapWatch and represent closing values as of August 29, 2025. Only companies headquartered in the respective economies were considered, regardless of their primary listing venue.

Methodology: For each economy in the World Bank’s high‑income classification (GNI per capita ≥ USD 13,845, Atlas method), the largest locally headquartered public company by market capitalization was identified. In cases where no domestic public company exists, the economy was excluded from the chart.

Tools: Data collection and cleaning were performed in Microsoft Excel. The final chart was created and polished for presentation using Infogram.

  2. You can also normalize by GDP and see how that affects order. Interesting so many financials.

  3. Title is misleading.

    It should be “… in Country of Origin.”

  4. Really goes to show how crazy it is for the Bay Area to have more than every other country

  7. Bruh I still don’t understand how Nvidia has this market cap but I’ll keep nodding and smiling because my 401k is tied to that shit

  8. IMHO because the countries are effectively categories here, and the companies are labels for each categories’ value, the countries should be on left (aligned) and companies on the right.

  9. SAP are the world champions of building a long moat. Living off the high switching costs of large corporates. Good for them

  10. missing Belgium with AB Inbev $112 billion market cap….

  11. For a while Novo Nordisk was the biggest in all of Europe. They are big enough to have direct influence on Danish national economy. It’s been a rough year for them though.

  12. Now it’d be very interesting comparing the previous 3 years of price to earnings ratio. NVIDIA 16 times as valuable as Toyota apparently, the car company with a car in every country.

  13. It’s still crazy to me how LVMH has almost the same market cap as company like Samsung, a company that sell basically an “essential”

    Unless they sell their clothes for millions to a LOT of people, i just dont understand how they’re able to reach that high compared to a phone, wich cost 300-1500 and that everyone use

    If someone could explain to me that would be great

  14. How can NVIDIA have a so much higher market cap than Toyota? Surely if everyone had a Toyota they’d make more than if everyone had a 5090??? I guess this properly makes me sound stupid AF 😔

  15. The picture in the background looks cool. But it makes the chart more difficult to read. I’d suggest removing it.

  17. How is Tesla 1.05T while Toyota is only 259B? Buy puts?
