The most recent world of wealth 500 shows that amazon is ahead of wal-marden's top global ranking。
Today, the most recent world of wealth 500 rankings, amazon ranked first and wal-mart second, ending the 12 consecutive years of wal-mart's leading record。
In the fiscal year 2026 (1 february 2025-31 january 2026), wal-mart achieved a global total of $713. 2 billion, approximately 49. 27. 3 billion yuan, an increase of 4. 7 per cent over the previous year. If the impact of exchange rate fluctuations were eliminated, total receipts amounted to $715. 9 billion, an increase of 5. 1 per cent over the same period. During the same period, the year-round adjusted operating profit was $31. 1 billion (approximately $21. 49 billion yuan), an increase of 5. 4 per cent over the same period。
Amazon previously disclosed that it had sold $717 billion throughout 2025. According to this data, income in the amazon already exceeds the trend in wal-mart。
The industry believes that these two companies, which are already in the top two positions, are still strong today, but that the amazon has broken through wal-mart's usual number one and is indicative of the rapid growth of electric power platforms in recent years. In relative terms, wal-mart revenues are derived mainly from physical retailing, with a lower overall revenue growth, and the amazon's focus on digital ecology and cloud services, for example, where profits are more likely to increase, an increase that wal-mart cannot easily access. Owing to the rapid growth of electricians, the overall revenue of amazons has grown several times faster than wal-mart in the past few years, while retailers such as wal-mart still have to bear higher costs, such as lower-line shops and labour costs, and their expansion has been limited in their ability to generate cross-border growth in the short term as electricians do。
As far as the retail industry is concerned, the 20th on the world of wealth 500 list this year, which is essentially the same as the previous year, is ranked 105th and 106th, respectively, and slightly up from 2025。
Several retailers have indicated that, in terms of goods, real retail enterprises still have a core purchasing advantage and that there are prospects for matching models such as pre-positioning. It needs to be noted that competition between electricians and real retailers has shifted towards full-source ecology and that future market patterns may change。
