This chart maps the world’s 30 most valuable companies — from Bank of America (founded 1784, Bank of America market cap is $375B) to NVIDIA (founded 1993, Nvidia market cap is $4.32T) — showing how corporate age and market value intersect.

Older institutions like JPMorgan Chase (1799) and Procter & Gamble (1837) remain global heavyweights, but the upper‑right corner is dominated by younger tech titans: Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta. Outliers like Saudi Aramco (1933, $1.49T) prove that energy can still rival tech in scale.

Wait Tesla's market cap is about 1.5 trillion and their board wants to give Elon a 1 trillion dollar pay package. Is the whole company a reverse funnel system or something?
