Corporate Giants' Market Cap

The data and map is updated daily and compares the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of every country with public traded companies that have the closest market capitalisation (market cap), which is the total value of all outstanding shares.

The map shows that, as of today (22nd March, 2022):

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA)’s market cap of $935.73 billion is closest to the GDP of Netherlands
Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s market cap of $2.68 trillion is nearest to France’s GDP
Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)’s market cap of $1.64 trillion is closest to the GDP of Australia.
Only 7 countries, including the UK, have a higher GDP than any company’s market cap
