Tops In Sales
With a 24% jump in 2005 revenues, Exxon Mobil moved past last year's world revenues champ, Wal-Mart Stores (nyse: WMT - news - people ). Of the sales leaders, 20 hail from the U.S.
Tops In Profits
Higher oil and gas prices helped energy companies grab six of the top ten spots here. Exxon Mobil's record profits last year: $36 billion.
Tops In Assets
Financial service companies rule this list. Barclays (nyse: BCS - news - people ) of the U.K. unseats perennial asset leader Citigroup (nyse: C - news - people ) to claim the top spot in assets.
Tops In Market Value
Despite an 11% decline in market value from last year, Exxon Mobil, capitalized at $363 billion, remains the world's most valuable company.
