But some things are just too good to share. Other corporations prefer to grow internally, eschewing the public trading of their shares altogether. The advantages to staying private are stark - no reporting requirements, no disassociated shareholders to please, no undue focus on short-term goals. When run sharply, private companies can grow to sizes rivaling those of their largest publicly traded counterparts.

Determining the world's most valuable private companies largely depends on how you define "private." By some rationale, any company that doesn't trade publicly would count. But atop that list would be Saudi Aramco, which was founded in the 1930s as a subsidiary of America's publicly traded Standard Oil (forerunner of Chevron.) Once Saudi Aramco became profitable in 1950, the Saudi king graciously let Standard Oil keep half the profits while expropriating the rest. eclipse curtains aubergineThe alternative was to have the government simply commandeer the entire company, which it did anyway in 1980.troopy curtains So best to call Saudi Aramco a state-owned enterprise (along with other giants such as China Mobile and Petrochina), and restrict ourselves to companies that grew out of private-sector ingenuity and continue to flourish as such today.curtains and blinds harpenden

While the title of America's largest public company has changed over the last couple of decades, from General Motors to Microsoft to ExxonMobil, the most valuable private American company has enjoyed its status largely unchallenged. Cargill is a $27 billion company that you probably have only scant familiarity with, yet have almost certainly patronized. arcadia grommet panel curtainsThe Minnesota multinational is responsible for a staggering one-quarter of all the grain exports from the United States.blinds and curtains harpenden Only a dozen or so American public companies earn more revenue than Cargill and few have its international scope. l400 curtainsCargill operates in 65 nations, on every populated continent, employing 142,000 people. pochampally curtains

It imports almost one-quarter of all the beef that enters the United States. When you add up all Cargill's interests, everything from phosphate production to energy trading, it totals over $100 billion revenue, annually. So who does own Cargill? The Cargill family, of course. The understandably secretive Cargills own 90% of the conglomerate, and no, they haven't disclosed any plans to sell anytime soon. Of slightly smaller size but similar influence is Koch Industries, which is also large enough to rank among the 20 largest public companies in the United States. The company was founded by family patriarch Fred Koch, a chemical engineer who in 1927 developed an efficient way to refine crude oil into gasoline. 85 years later, the company maintains a presence in refining but has expanded into fields as diverse as polymers and ranching. The Wichita-based Koch's most famous subsidiary is Georgia-Pacific, one of the world's largest pulp and paper manufacturers. Fred Koch died in 1967, willing the company to his four sons.

In 1983, brothers Charles and David bought out Fred Jr. and William for what certainly sounded like a generous amount at the time - $1.1 billion. Charles and David each own 42% of the company today, and it's safe to say they'll give thought to selling their interest right around the same time the Cargill clan does. Large private companies aren't exclusive to the United States. Europe's most formidable include a Swedish furniture manufacturer (and doubtless the world's biggest popularizer of Allen wrenches), founded in 1943. With net shareholders' equity of $23 billion, IKEA has never strayed from its original business. Today the company operates hundreds of stores in dozens of countries, bringing simple functionality and casual minimalism to the masses. The multinational's teenage founder, Ingvar Kamprad (the "IK" in IKEA), is now 86 and lives in Switzerland. In 1982 he created a charitable foundation to own the bulk of the company, which it's done ever since. A complete breakdown of IKEA's ownership structure would entail several thousand words, but to summarize, Kamprad's Stichting INGKA Foundation owns the holding company that owns 90% of IKEA's stores.
