  And yet Walmart is still much larger than Amazon. In 2015, Walmart had sales of about $508 billion, while Amazon only had $83 billion. AMZ barely cracked the top ten: https://nrf.com/2015/top100-table https://nrf.com/2015/top100-table The difference, of course, is that Bezos controls a much larger portion of AMZ than the Waltons control of WMT. None of them are anywhere near John D. Rockefeller, who had an inflation-adjusted net worth of $392 billion, equivalent to 1.5-2% of the entire U.S. economy at the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_D._Rockefeller https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_D._Rockefeller
