I think it's utter bullocks to compare a country's GDP (total monetary value of goods and services within a country) with a company's value. That's basically comparing one economic instrument in a nation against the total value of a company, i.e. it's total assets, that's why you won't find economists doing this, instead, you'll find businessmen making these illogical comparisons.

All the oil deposits, minerals and resources like Gold, Iron ore, Bitumen, Timber in each country were left out, so it doesn't really depict the total value of a country against the companies. Nigeria for instance would worth way more than Apple if the basis for comparison were same.

Amazon's net worth of $1.6 trillion makes the company richer than 92% of countries in the world.

It would outrank all countries except for USA, China, Japan, Germany, India, France, UK, Italy, brazil, Canada and Russia

Facebook with a market cap of $763 billion would be wealthier than over 150 countries around the world

It would outrank all countries except for USA, China, Japan, Germany, India, France, UK, Italy, brazil, Canada, Russia, South Korea, Australia, Spain, Mexico, Indonesia, Netherlands and Saudi Arabia
