At least 25 companies in the United States have revenues that are more than some countries' gross domestic products (GPDs), with Walmart topping the list at almost $415 billion US Dollars (USD). If Walmart were a country, its revenue would make it one of the 25 largest economies in the world, with a GDP that is more than those of Peru, Morocco and New Zealand combined. Other U.S. companies that have revenues higher than some countries' GDPs include Exxon Mobile, which has a revenue bigger than the GDP of Thailand, and Conoco Phillips, which has a revenue that surpasses the GDP of Pakistan.
