Your the one that has a problem with “unequal dollars” ... so use equal dollars for today, because everyone is on an equal plane, today ... no fiddling needed ... and find the company that made more.

Wasn't too hard. Microsoft, 1999 - 840 Billion in todays dollars.

It doesn’t work for today’s dollars and today’s companies ... today everyone is on an equal footing so there no question.

That is an accurate number. Thanks. The one in the Quartz chart uses Microsoft's December 27 high as though it happened on January 1, 1999 and included a whole year of very high inflation which got compounded. The actual figure should be calculated from 2000 dollars forward to 2015 dollars. . . because 4 days of 1999 just don't count for diddly squat.
