How much these Fictional Companies actually Worth - YouTube

In the World of Fictions, we have heard many names  that radiates Power and Wealth. And if You have a  

truck load of Cash that is not a Power but it  is a Super Power.

So, Today will look at few of the Main Titans in the fictional world

which are not just Super Powers but are Nuclear Super Powers to the World and Society.

Because these Conglomerates can either make this world a utopia  

or a dystopia. Yes, that is how much Power they  derive from their vast wealth. Just a heads up,  

some of the names you already guessed are  in the List and some you never thought!

1. Ferris Air

Rather than giving its introduction as ‘Ferris  Air Inc, one of the leading aviation companies  

in the world specializing in advanced  aviation concepts’ if I say it is the  

company once employed Hal Jordan, aka the  first Green Lantern Corps member of Earth;  

you will surely have your memories resurfaced. Yes! it is that Airlines.

Ferris-Bloch Air-Cargo, Ltd. was founded by Carl  Ferris a business man and Conrad Bloch a pilot.  

Together they became profitable  against the odds and down the road  

company was handed over to their  daughter and goddaughter Carol Ferris.

Due to its popularity Ferris Air is the Boeing  of the DC Universe, however when compared with  

financial records, Ferris Air can hardly measure  up to Boeing which is worth nearly $100 billions dollars.

More suitable real-life example for  Ferris Airlines is ‘Nordam Group LLC’. NORDAM  

is a family-owned, global aerospace manufacturing  and repair firm which has a net worth of Over $500  

million. According to that comparison Ferris Air  climbs up in the Forbes Fictional Fortune ladder  

unto the 34th Position which previously wasn’t  in it. Company is an emerging rival to the  

Two Aviation giants in the industry;  Lexcorp Aviations and Wayne Airlines.

2. Gringotts Wizarding Bank

When looking at the world of Harry Potter, the  biggest company that comes to mind without a  

doubt is Gringotts Wizarding Bank. It  is the only bank in the wizarding world,  

and is owned and operated by goblins. Bank was  created by a goblin called Gringott, in 1474.  

Its main offices are located around the North  Side of Diagon Alley in London, England.

Bank stores money, gold, valuables of Wizards  and Witches and features an intense magical  

security system which includes a subterranean  maze, magical barriers and protective spells,  

and dragons. There are hundreds of  thousands of vaults, each with a unique key.

The nearest real-world example we can found  with such features and caliber is the Royal  

Bank of Scotland. The net worth of Royal  Bank is accounted to be £2.23 billion  

(about US$2.98 billion), and Gringotts  seems to be the sole Titan in banking  

industry in fictional world even ranking  25th in the list, among many Tech Giants.

3. LexCorp

From a humble beginning  which started in a top floor  

office of the Daily Planet building in Metropolis,  

it rose to become one of the world's largest,  most diversified multinational conglomerates.

In 1974, LexCorp was founded by Alexander  Luthor Sr., an immigrant from East Germany,  

and had its headquarters built in downtown  Metropolis. His son treasured every effort  

his father made to build this company and after  his dad’s passing away he managed the company  

ingeniously which resulting the company to  flourish into a massive corporate giant.

The magnificent Glass Tower ‘Lexcorp’  is the headquarters of Lex Industries  

and is a perfect marriage of  architecture and technology.  

It is the biggest, grandest, most  highly advanced structure in Metropolis.

The very view of Tower often reminds us a similar  structure in 5th Avenue, New York.

Addition to that Luthor has also won the US Presidency held in 2000

According to Superman: The Man of Steel #110.

Although there seems to be much  similarities between the two,  

we cannot compare their Businesses as One is based on Real-estate and Hotels while  

the other is based on Aviation  and Tech research.

Therefore, we will be looking at a different real-life  example which will be more into LexCorp’s Scope.

LexCorp was originally organized as an aerospace  engineering firm yet grew rapidly into a diverse  

international conglomerate with interests in  waste management, industrial manufacturing,  

technology, chemicals, retail, bio-engineering,  oil, airlines, media, financial services,  

robotics, logistics, stock  brokerage houses, and food.

LexCorp is claimed to worth $65 billion but we are  not sure to what degree it is accurate. So, to get  

a better idea about its vast wealth, let’s look  at some major subsidiary companies under LexCorp.

LexCorp houses few of the  prominent companies in Country related to different sectors.

Such as LexComp, LexChemical, LexComm, LexEl Investments, FedLex,  

LexMart, TelLex and the Oldest two LexAir  and LexOil.

If we carefully look at these major subsidiaries we can surely come  up with their real-world counterpart.

LexChemical in the comics is more similar  to Eastman Chemical which has a revenue  

of $9.3 billion in previous year. LexEl  Investments is today’s ‘Cascade Investments’:  

which has a market price of $24.38 per share and  summing up to a pre-tax value of $15.14 billion.

In the presence the main stream that brings truck  load of money to the Corporation is its Logistics  

Giant Fedlex. By the sound of the name we know  what’s its real-world representation is. Yes! It  

is none other than the multinational delivery  services company, with a share price of $244  

altogether adding up to a market capitalization  of value over US$55.5 billion, FedEx.

Although Luthor’s roots were in  Airlines and Oil Production he became  

the Crowned Prince in logistics. LexMart which is more similar to  

Wal-Mart’s rival Target in a financial  sense, has a revenue of $11.3 billion.

Then the two oldest Ones who  became the base of LexCorp,  

LexAir and Lex Oil. Lex Air is the embodiment of  Allegiant Air in comic world, which has a revenue  

of $2.18 billion and LexOil is the essence of  Marathon Oil having a net worth of 5.2 billion.

So, from all the sectors it adds  up to a total of $98.62 billion,  

more than $33.62 billion with  compared to the said value.  

With this analysis LexCorp turns out to be 6th  richest corporation in the entire Forbes list.

4. Queen Consolidated

Founded by Robert Queen and run primarily  by the Queen family, is located in Star City  

which was city’s head business. In the  beginning Queen Consolidated made much  

of its profits from the sale of weapons  and munitions. But after witnessing its  

adversities on society they turned over a new  leaf. They started producing steel, focusing  

on finance and tried to expand into an umbrella  corporation that does engages in many businesses.

If you’ve watched TV Series Arrow you’ll be  sure to get a thorough understanding about the  

Ownership of firm which changed from time to time. (Arrow 2x01 - Walter Steele to the Rescue) If we  

looked at its finances, we cannot clearly relate  it to an exact real-life company. However, it has  

some similarities to Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company  which showed a revenue of $3.632 billion in 2020.  

According to various sources Oliver Queen’s  net worth amounts to nearly $3 billion  

and since he is the major shareholder  of the company owning more than 50%  

we can somewhat agree with this  assumption. Results shows that  

Queen Consolidated is the 24th Fortune  in the list just before Gringotts.

5. Stark Industries

The Big Gun in Weapon Industry that fuels  the heroic acts of grandiose Iron Man.  

Built by Isaac Stark, Sr. in the 19th century and  

later taken over by Howard Stark and  then by his son Tony, after his death.

Company made its today’s fortune by  manufacturing advanced weapons and  

developing military technologies. Forbes  has valued Stark Industries to be $51.87  

billion back in 2011. Yet if we focus on  the real-life example of Stark Industries  

which is Lockheed Martin Corporation we might  be able to derive a better approximation.

Just like Tony’s Stark Industries,  Lockheed Martin’s also a leader in defense,  

arms, security, and advanced technologies. We  can strongly agree even the creators had this  

idea when Stark Industries has a logo similar to  the celebrated defense contractor Lockheed Martin  

and during the press conference scene, Stark  is seen entering a building that resembles the  

entrance to Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works  facility. An airplane extremely similar to  

the Lockheed YF-22 stood as a statue in  front of the Stark Industries facility,  

exactly like the prototypes on display at  Skunk Works facility in Palmdale, California.

When we look at the financial statements, Lockheed  Martin’s had a revenue of $59.81 billion last year  

which is nearly an $8 billion difference from the  Old Forbes. If we stick with this approximation  

Stark Industries is might be the 7th biggest  Titan in the fictional World just below LexCorp.

6. Wonka Factory

Wonka Chocolate Company is actually a  real-world company operated by Nestle under  

‘Wonka Candy Company’ name. Although the  scope of Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory  

and Nestle’s Wonka Candy Company do greatly  differ, they have somewhat similar origins.

The company is inspired by the novel, Charlie  and the Chocolate Factory, and launched in 1971  

thus coinciding with the release of the  film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

If we looked at real world scenario In January  2018, Nestlé USA announced it is selling its US  

confectionary business to Ferrero, an Italian  chocolate and candy maker. The company was sold  

for a total of an estimated $2.8 billion. But  this can hardly be the net worth of a behemoth  

Chocolate Factory. Willy Wonka’s company is  more similar to today’s Mars Incorporated,  

which is one of the largest food companies  in the world. It has produced a revenue of  

$35 billion in the recent year and is a matching  example for Wonka Factory. Willy Wonka’s Chocolate  

Factory is the Single sweetest Company in the  list even dominating up to the 11th position.

7. Wayne Enterprises

The world renowned dearly loved conglomerate in  fiction world, chaired by celebrated Gotham’s  

White Knight Bruce Wayne is a large, growing  multinational company diversified in many sectors.

The business was first founded by merchant  ancestors of the Wayne family in the 17th  

century as a merchant house, it is among  the oldest companies in the DC Universe.

Company is primarily known for its military  defense contracts and Space exploration Projects.  

But Wayne Enterprises also includes  dozens of umbrella companies involved  

in all sectors of the economy both  in Gotham City and around the world.

Subsidiaries of Enterprise deals  in Biotech, Chemicals, Electronics,  

Energy, Entertainment being the parent  company of The Daily Planet newspaper,  

Mining, Oil, Pharmaceuticals, Securities, Steel,  Yards and many summing up to a vast wealth.

While Forbes had valued the Enterprises revenue  to be $31.3 billion, its methodology wasn't made  

public, not to mention its timeliness. So,  in this Video we have dug deep to extract  

information related to this Conglomerate Giant. Looking at the family business, we can compare  

Wayne Enterprises' construction division to  real-world Turner Construction, with a revenue  

of $11.77 billion in previous year. Because  Wayne Enterprises also moves into security,  

we can relate it to L-3 Communications,  which had a revenue of $18.1 billion in 2019.  

The shipping division is compared with Horizon  Lines, which gain $1.5 billion in 2019,  

and the emerging Gold Mine ‘Wayne Aerospace’  was compared with Space X, which saw an average  

annualized revenue of $2.5 billion. But  currently as we all know Space X worth  

more than $100 billion yet we cannot  say for sure that ‘Wayne Aerospace’  

is capable of replicating a similar feat.  Therefore, let’s keep that fact as it is.

We cannot forget the company  which beautiful Lois Lane works,  

Daily Planet which is also under the  management of Wayne Enterprises amounts  

to a revenue of $29.54 million  which is based on New York Times.

Therefore, based on the information, Wayne  Enterprises has an approximate revenue of  

$33.87 billion only from its main subsidiaries not to mention the Wayne  Tech’s acquisitions of Mr. Terrific’s HoltCorp  

worth of $1 billion and Blue Beetle’s Kord  Industries which worth nearly $5 billion.

However, the largest component of the Enterprise  is the defense division which fits well with  

the movie since we are told that this sector  of the company has become its “cornerstone”  

and it explains why Bruce Wayne has the latest in  military technology to help fight crime in Gotham.

At the end of ‘Batman Begins’ Wayne Enterprises  goes public. If we think about some similarities,  

General Electric is another public  company with a significant defense sector,  

and a long history, founded in New York. Its  shares trade at around 64 times its earnings.  

The revenue of General Electric  for last year is $ 95.21 billion.

With these reports if we add up main  component with its main subsidiaries  

it would make Wayne Enterprises  the 3rd largest Super Power in the  

world by market capitalization  totaling up to $129.08 billion  

resulting a catastrophe in the Forbes  fortune where it was ranked at 11th position.
