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.

Strange doings. I did not expect to see costco, home depot, netflix, or palantir on the list. Palantir especially surprises me. I know their name is coming up at the moment with surveillance bullshit, but not that there is that much money on them. I also didn't think costco or home depot would even be close to walmart.

Tesla is once again standing out as insane meme stock.

Nvidia is propped up by LLM and AI stuff skyrocketing right now. Their GPUs for consumers are sub par. Their drivers suck. Their overhyped and overpriced. Anyone who's built gaming rigs and PCs will likely tell you the same thing. Especially so if your using Linux of any kind. Their just not worth the hassle. Nvidia is a marketing company.

AMD beats in price, better drivers, and arguably performance when paired together CPU and GPU. When a consumer wants maximum dollar value I built 10 to 1 AMD systems.

Nvidia matches out or exceeds is specialty workstation type work loads but that is about it. That's also entirely what's propping up their hyper inflated company.
