There is no definition of "richness", only a dollar value without underpinning.

This is way out of whack with market cap valuations or cash balances… Yahoo turned down an offer in excess of $40bn only a couple of months ago from a company that apparently (according to your list) cant afford them.

What a load of rubbish. Why is it that MSN repeatedly publishes the very poorest of financial commentary?

I could of course be wrong but my sources (Google) put the profit at close to $3 billion US for the year (essentially the same as Canadian currency, give or take a few hundred million dollars). Maybe you were looking at revenue?</p> To Joseph: I don't think Nintendo made close to that (ever).

1.) Debt, not det.
2.) Microsoft has never been in debt. They recently negotiated a debt to buy back stock, however the amount is significantly less than cash on hand.

I have not analyzed the other companies in the list.

Sleepy: Excellent point. "Rich companies" vs. "value of companies" doesn't make sense, especially since, as you state, value can be calculated many different ways: Book, net asset, DCF, the list goes on. Cheers!
