From entrepreneurs to investors, Every person aspires to have their first million. A figure that is assumed to be standard – to ensure financial stability – and which is, on the other hand, unexpectedly easy for others to do. multinational companies like Google or Uber. These, at the top of the world, take between minutes and seconds to pocket this amount, daily.
Who are all of them? The ranking, originally published by EmpreHouse, points to several companies – specifically, 13– of a global nature, positioning them based on the speed to obtain this figure. At the top, repeat Applethe company founded by the visionary Steve Jobs that last Thursday confirmed a profit of 93,736 million dollars (about 86,123 million euros) at the end of its 2024 financial year (and despite the large amount of taxes that the company has had to pay in Europe).
At the opposite extreme, McDonaldswith a little more 20 minutes – something that, even so, many would like in their daily or monthly balance sheet. Likewise, other giants such as Amazonthe king of online shopping (who just yesterday unveiled his new site Amazon Haul) or FedEx have been left out.
So, these are the speed figures in the multinationals with more weight globally:
13. McDonalds: 20 minutes and 37 secondss: Ronald McDonald would be proud that the benefit time does not exceed the waiting time. Or what is the same: a happy meal more can make more than one person happy at the same time.
12. Netflix: The global streaming network takes just 14 minutes in taking the record for platforms worldwide. Although the network already has -according to its October results- more than 282 million paying subscribers around the world, we bet that many of them take less time to fall asleep in front of the screen on a Thursday night.
11. Uber: The Californian king of transportation and delivery afternoon 12 minutes and 32 seconds in ringing the bell. Probably less than it takes to order one of their VTCs on a Saturday night.
10. Coca-cola: The company chaired by James Quincey does not reach 12 minutes (specifically, with 11 minutes and 20 seconds to get the 1M$)which represents an advance compared to last year’s figure. Its net profit for the last year (until September) may have decreased by 1% (to 11.9 billion) but the performance of its total revenue is now 10% – in terms of price/mix.
9. Nike: The company responsible for institutionalizing the slogan of Just Do It and sponsor of Barça She is faster at winning the million than the top scorer of the culé team with the ball: 10 minutes and 13 seconds. However, only last season Lewandoski He scored an average of one goal every 60 minutes.
8. Nvidia: Eight minutes and 38 seconds (to be more exact) is how long it takes the company to make the cling with this figure. It is not surprising since the company recorded an earnings per share of $0.67 and one record sales figure 30 billion dollars in its second fiscal quarter.
7. American Express: the American giant of banking which renewed its agreement with Formula 1 a couple of weeks ago, barely takes 7 minutes and 13 seconds in singing the million. A long-distance race that, judging by the latest results of the New York company, is bearing fruit; in fact, this year her original partner FedEx has been left out of this ranking.
6. Disney: The factory of dreams is also that of millions; specifically, 6 minutes It takes him a while to bag the first one. And just a few days ago the company confirmed a 111% annual profit in its latest closure, thanks in part to the exponential growth of its streaming business, one of the ones that has grown the most during the last year, giving them their first first positive annual result by earning 143 million dollars (about 135 million euros).
5. Tesla: The pretty girl -non-biological- of Elon Musk (from the others he already has, according to himself, 11 own shoots) is one of the most profitable companies of the moment, a forecast that has been maximized with Trump’s victory. Specifically, with 5 minutes and 24 seconds in generating this profit figure. The fortune of the new boss of the (also neophyte) Department of Government Efficiency created by the newly elected Republican president has automatically promoted to 300 billion dollarswith Tesla reaching its record of a billion dollars last week.
4. Goal: Three minutes and 22 seconds for Zuckerberg’s. Although it has not yet given figures for this latest closure, at the end of last year the multinational registered a profit of 12,369 million dollars (equivalent to 11,532 million euros), which represents a 117% more than in the same period last year, thanks, in part, to an increase in profitability.
3. Samsung: Two minutes and 31 seconds for the company that is also advancing (quickly and quickly) towards AI as the ultimate integration in all its devices. At the end of the previous fiscal year this year, the company recorded an attributable net profit of 10.95 billion (about 8,210 million euros), after two consecutive years of increases.
2. Google: the giant tech is in a close second place (and only 12 seconds off the podium) with 1 minute and 32 seconds in endorsing the million to the cash register.
1. Apple: The Californian multinational is always at the forefront and, in this case, also takes the cake in the competition for ultrasound billing, with 1 minute and 20 seconds. Although the brand has announced an upcoming opening in our country – at the end of the month in La Vaguada (Madrid) – raising its own centers to 12 throughout Spain, their efficient repair service will surely take even more time to give you a diagnosis of your device and give you an appointment to repair it.
