Michael was intrigued by Jimmy's last words.
"Golden 500? Please elaborate."
Jimmy nodded and went on explaining. "It's a ranking of companies from all across the world—compiled exclusively by journalists and newspapers around the world. And this ranking is based on a company's wealth and influence."
"The current number one in the world is none other than the Vanderbilt Business, sir! But, I know that for most companies, it is an impossible dream to topple the number one spot. So, just getting in the top 500 spot is already an amazing milestone!"
Michael had never heard of this ranking before, probably because his parents didn't really discuss much about the Vanderbilt business with him. They had simply told him that they were the wealthiest family in the world, and for them, that was enough.
