Apple is the first public company to reach a trillion. There are arguments that Aramco is worth vastly more, but it's not publicly traded, so it's hard to put a number on it.

I believe Saudi Aramco and PetroChina have passed the $1T mark.

Historically, adjusting for inflation there are also some really big ones: https://www.fool.com/investing/general/2012/08/22/a-history-...

Norway’s sovereign wealth fund is (or was?) worth over $1 trillion
