Figures are limited to public filings, live market data and revenue published by a named source. A Black ownership percentage is shown only where a company, a filing or a certifying body has published one; everything else reads "not disclosed" rather than being estimated. Private companies file nothing public, so they carry no amount. Prices and filings are read live from a public market feed. Listed companies link out to their market reference page; every other name opens a details window. Every figure here is in US dollars; a company trading or filing in another currency is converted at the live exchange rate and marked with an asterisk.
