I wouldn't say the most successful company. IIRC the east india company, inflation-adjusted, was worth significantly more.

- philwelch 9y agoMaybe even the Hudson's Bay Company at one point, too. But then, those were the days when companies literally ruled entire countries.
- pfarnsworth 9y agoYou can choose to measure successful company that way, but I surely won't. Apple is worth almost $1 trillion.
- earenndil 9y agoSure, apple is incredibly successful. But the east india company was around for hundreds of years and could wage its own wars and had enormous. That wasn't their primary purpose, they just also waged war. Could you even begin to say the same about apple?
