Market Kings Never Stay Kings: 35 Years of Wealth Shifts
There’s a harsh truth about market dominance: it doesn’t last forever.
Rewind to 1989. The world’s five biggest companies by market cap? Four Japanese banks and one American oil giant (Exxon). Japan was eating — six of the top 10 global companies were Japanese. Looked unstoppable at the time.
Fast forward to 2024: Only Toyota from that era remains in the top 50. The other four Japanese banks? Combined market cap crashed from $240+ billion to just $51 billion after merging into Mizuho. Only Exxon actually made investors money over those 35 years.
