Forbes’ ranking of the top 2000 companies in the world. Some interesting facts:

Company with the most market value: Exxon Mobil at $405 billion
Best operated company in the world: Citigroup at $248 billion
Number of Canadian companies:
67
Highest ranked Canadian company: Royal Bank of Canada at #89 worth $38 billion
Years that it would take me to buy Suncor (the company I’m currently working for) assuming I make $200,000 per year and don’t spend a cent of it: 85,000
Years it would take to buy the ‘cheapest’ company on the list: 1500

Well, better start saving up!

Anne Coulter has been ranked as the most hated person in America though I’m not too sure on how scientific the ranking methodology is.

In any case, if you are wondering what it takes to earn such a grand title or who Anne Coulter is, here’s a start.
