Amazon just knocked Walmart out of the top spot after 13 years as the biggest company in America.
In 2025, Amazon brought in $717B in sales, edging past Walmart’s $713B.
Bezos learned from Sam Walton’s playbook, then expanded it.
Over the last decade, Amazon’s growth has been nearly 10x faster. The real difference was not retail. It was AWS. Cloud computing pushed Amazon ahead in a way Walmart could not match.
But highest revenue does not equal highest investor confidence.
The stock is down 10% this year.
Largest company in the country.

As part of the Epstein file release, the DOJ exposed a rare look inside billionaire Leon Black’s personal finances.
Here are 5 things that stood out:
1. A $484 million art-backed loan
He borrowed nearly half a billion dollars from Bank of America using masterpieces like Picasso’s The Scream as collateral. When you’re that wealthy, even your art collection becomes a credit line.
2. Dining like a Fortune 500 CEO
In just the first two weeks of 2015, his family spent $27,196 eating out, including a $7,688 dinner at Joe’s Stone Crab. That is more than many Americans make in a year, spent in 14 days.
3. $154 million sitting in cash
While rates were near zero, he kept over $150 million parked across major banks earning roughly 0.15 percent. Liquidity over yield.
4. Wealth concentrated in Apollo
More than $2 billion was tied up in Apollo Global Management stock, with only about $13 million in public blue chips like Disney and Boeing. Most of his net worth was in the empire he built.
5. $158 million paid to Epstein
An outside review found Black paid Epstein $158 million for financial services before stepping down as CEO in 2021.
The spending breakdown reads like a different universe.
$75K on art in two months.
$67K on wine and liquor.
$149K on school taxes.
$105K on professional services.
Private plane flights. Landscaping. Renovations.
This is how billionaires actually allocate mone
