- Several big-name companies, like Amazon, Walmart, and Netflix, have seen their stock prices skyrocket in the years or decades since they went public.
- We took a look at what a $1,000 investment in 22 household names would be worth today, using historical price data from Yahoo Finance.
- A $1,000 investment in Walmart in 1980 would be worth nearly $700,000 today.
Early investors in some of the biggest companies in the world, like Facebook, Amazon, Walmart, or Netflix, have seen their fortunes greatly magnified over the years.
Business Insider took a look at historical split-adjusted price data from Yahoo Finance for 22 corporations that have become household names, and found what a $1,000 investment made back in the day would be worth as of their closing prices on December 17, 2018.
For companies that held their initial public offering or came into being after 1980, we used their IPO date as the starting point, and for older companies, we assumed an investment in early 1980.
Here's how much you'd have made investing in those companies back in the day.
