Alphabet, Apple etc are publicly quoted companies on stock exchanges eg Nasdaq, Dow Jones, the list here are companies yet to go public.
Hence the tag Private.

💰 $1.25 Trillion. $500 Billion. $350 Billion. Notice a pattern? 4 of the top 6 most valuable private companies in the world are now dominated by Aerospace and Artificial Intelligence. Are we witnessing the end of traditional "Software as a Service" dominance? 🤖
Tell me in the comments: If you could own shares in just ONE of these today, which would you pick? 👇

Respectfully majority of the MOST VALUED COMPANIES IN THE WORLD AND IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES DEAL WITH HIGH VALUE SERVICES AND HAVE PASSED NIGERIA'S STAGE WHERE NIGERIA'S TOP MOST VALUABLE COMPANIES PROVIDE RAW MATERIALS AND BASIC NETWORKING AND INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS FOOD,CEMENT, COMMUNICATION AND ENERGY AND BANKING AND ELECTRICITY


MOST BANKING IN NIGERIA MOBILISES DEPOSITS FROM THE MASSES TO LEND GOVERNMENT AND MEGA BILLIONAIRES AND MEGA CORPORATIONS AND MAKING MONEY FROM CHARGES, THE MASSES DONT REALLY HAVE ACCESS TO LONG TERM BUSINESS LOANS SO THE BANKING SYSTEM DOES NOT HAVE TOO MUCH WEALTH ECONOMIC VALUE FOR THE MASSES



THE DEVELOPED WORLD HAVE MOST OF THEIR TOP MOST VALUED COMPANIES BUILDING ON INNOVATION AND HIGH VALUE TECHNOLOGY NOT RAW MATERIALS AND BASIC NETWOKKINJG AND ESSENTIALS LIKE FOOD OILM CEMENT, COMMUNICATION, BANKING

PLEASE NOTE THAT ARAMCO IS THE GOVERNMENT OF SAUDI ARABIAS OIL COMPANY AND CONTROLS A MAJOR PART OF THE OIL RESOURCES IN THEIR COUNTRY (THEIR OWN NNPC ) SO IT IS ON THE LIST BUT IT IS NOT A PRIVATE COMPANY,
