Key Points
As of now, the top three most valuable companies in the world are Nvidia, valued at $4.4 trillion, Microsoft at $3.7 trillion, and Apple at $3.4 trillion. In contrast, on December 29, 1995, the top companies were ExxonMobil at $101 billion, Coca-Cola at $93 billion, and General Electric at $74 billion.
Nvidia has gained approximately $3.9 trillion in value over the last three years, primarily due to the demand for its graphics processing units in artificial intelligence. Although companies like Microsoft and Apple have maintained high market positions, there are indications that the leading companies could change radically by 2055.
