>Mitsubishi wasn't named and is huge. Their revenue will likely dwarf Amazon for decades to come.

Was curious, so I looked it up. Mitsubishi's revenue (as of 2011, which is where Wikipedia cuts off) was ~ $174B. Amazon's 2016 revenue was about $136B. I'm guessing Amazon has a higher revenue growth rate than Mitsubishi.

Samsung's total 2014 revenue was $305B. LG's 2012 revenue was $143B. SK's 2011 revenue was $99B. SMFG's 2011 revenue was ~28B. Toyota is the largest company in Japan at about $237B in revenue (not a keiretsu, but included for scale).

TL;DR; it's not easy to find a company (or related group) with revenue that dwarfs Amazon's. Amazon is really big.
