Well, if you inflation-adjust, there probably were $1 trillion companies.

There have been several. Saudi Aramco is one right now (and has been for some time), but it's not publicly traded.

I think it's supposed to be $203.48: https://business.financialpost.com/investing/apple-needs-an-... (found via google search).

The first publicly traded company to have a market cap of $1T.

Don’t companies need to be publicly traded to have nonzero market cap by definition?

FYI: 6% per year
