Company Size Debate
Discussions center on skepticism toward claims about the number of large companies (e.g., 500 or 135) with significant revenue or scale, with users questioning sources, providing counterexamples like Fortune 500 firms, and debating the total pool of global companies.

Source on the 500 companies? That's staggeringly high.
I know at least a few many-hundred-billion dollar companies that fit that description...
Reference for the 135 companies claim?
You know you're a big company when 3.5 billion USD is less than 1% of your total annual revenue.
Do there exist 50 companies their size for that number to make sense?
this is fine but my guess is their company is not big enough yet. the Apple example is not very convincing.
Thousands upon thousands. There are a lot more companies in the world than FAANGs and SV unicorns.
Probably more like multiple Fortune 100 companies combined.
Not every company is a billion dollar company. Is yours?
there are ~300-350m companies in the world also.
