4. YouTube $30+ Billion

YouTube dominates long-form video monetization with ads, premium subscriptions, and creator revenue sharing.

More than an app — WeChat is a lifestyle. Messaging, banking, shopping, and government services live inside one ecosystem.

6. Amazon App $20+ Billion

The Amazon app drives retail, Prime subscriptions, and impulse purchases globally.

7. Meta (Facebook & Instagram) $18+ Billion

Advertising remains Meta’s goldmine, powered by user data and global reach.
