5 Largest Financial Services Companies in the World

4. Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A)

Total revenue in 2019 (in millions of dollars): 254,616

Total profit in 2019 (in millions of dollars): 81,417

Total assets in 2019 (in millions of dollars): 817,729

Total employees in 2019: 391,500

If only considering revenue, Berkshire Hathaway is by far the largest financial services company in the world. Even if you consider revenues and profits, no other company in this sector can come close. However, once you factor in total assets, and while $817 billion worth of assets may seem a lot, many companies have trillions of dollars worth of total assets, which is why Berkshire Hathaway has dropped to the fourth position. It also owns or has a stake in many other companies including Apple, which is also the biggest electronics company in the world.
