Africa no doubt had some companies make the top 500 but the biggest would've been somewhere in the 300s. I am kind of surprsied that South Africa didn't make at least the group list though as they completely dominate the African continent in this category, like the 10 largest publicly traded companies in Africa are all South African.

Exactly. And the important thing is learning why and how this happens. Venezuela is another outlier in economics. Look at the laws, regulations, political and economic systems each country has and you'll know why they have different levels of development.
