Another one of the cool lists we all love. This time, the website channel “CNN” researched the 10 companies that earned most this year for the moment. The network of supermarkets Wal-Mart Stores, from the United States, starts the list with, US$ 408 billion. Next in line comes the Royal Dutch Shell, from Holland, with almost half the budget on the first place: US$ 285 billion.
*Third in position is Exxon Mobil, also from the USA, who earned US$ 1 billion less than the Dutch company. The BP, from the United Kingdom, the Toyota Motor and the Japan Post Hosting, both originally from Japan, comes next – none with a less recipe of US$ 200 billion. The Chinese companies Sinopec and State Grid are on the seventh and eight placements.
Closing the list, AXA, with “only” US$ 175 billion; and at last, the National Petroleum, also from China, with US$ 165 billion, all this and we only started the second semester.
