Some ventures get acquired. That can be a path to success, too.

Bacardi does revenues of 5 billion plus and they're private. I'd say that's a successful business.

Samsung is privately held as well.

~$300bn revenue.

Samsung isn't privately held. It's listed in the Seoul market as KRX:005930

See reference at the bottom:

"Samsung is not to be confused with its publicly traded subsidiary Samsung Electronics"

Thanks. I also found this: "the Samsung Group comprised 59 unlisted companies and 19 listed companies"
