Here's the breakdown figures found in that article (in billions).
- ExxonMobil - $416

With the phenomenal growth of Google, an internet advertising giant who's search engine started in 1998, had been a much talked subject in technology trends today. Just this year, it continues to buy companies that are deterrent to their business. This phenomena is a clear fact that many of the other companies on the list above have been around for years and/or have a variety of revenue streams and with the entry of Google in the global scene is short of exhilarating to be part of this exciting time in history and watch them continue to grow into this mammoth entity.
