This is a list of the world's 'largest public and private businesses' by turnover. The list is limited to companies with annual revenues exceeding 10 billion
s.
. For example: Do not
# There are some very large state owned businesses with turnover of over $10 billion, for example state oil companies in
countries, and these are excluded.
# The availability of up to date information on private companies is limited and varies from country to country.
# Revenue is only one of many ways of measuring company size and it is not the most appropriate for all purposes. Using a different measure, such as total
, would produce a fundamentally different list.
# Many major companies, especially outside the U.S., do not have a 31 December year end, so the figures are for years to a variety of dates.
# This list is shown in U.S. dollars, but many of the companies on it prepare their accounts in other currencies. The value of their turnover in dollar terms may change substantially in a short period of time due to
fluctuations.
# Figures are either latest full year results or annualised to the most recent quarter; the year these results were reported in is shown beside them.
