Walmart The retail monster known as Walmart comes in second with a net worth of $446.95 billion. Walmart’s rapid expansion began in the 1980’s and it has dominated the industry ever since, with over 8,500 stores in 15 different countries. Selling everything from toys to common household supplies, Walmart is the undisputed retail king and is here to stay. And the richest company in the world is... ....... ...... ..... .... ... .. . Give it up for.... . .. ... .... ..... ...... ....... No.1. Exxon Mobil No surprise here, the the world’s largest oil company takes the top spot, with a net-worth coming in at an astounding $486.6 billion. Although the company has come under fire for its insensitivity towards the environment, this criticism has not stopped it from becoming a gasoline powerhouse. Many don’t know that this company was formed in the early 1970’s from a merger of three smaller companies that originated in the 1880’s.
