most valuable corporation
Answer: The Dutch East India Company. It would be more than forgivable to assume that the most valuable company in the world was a modern one given the enormous amount of wealth generated by modern technology firms. Apple, for example, was valued at 661 billion dollars in 2012. Even more valuable was the Middle Eastern oil firm Saudi Aramco, valued at a staggering 3.6 trillion dollars in 2012. Neither of those massive holdings however can even begin to compare to the inflation-adjusted value of The Dutch East India Company.
