That's not what national total wealth refers to. It refers to the wealth of all citizens.

> National net wealth, also known as national net worth, is the total sum of the value of a nation's assets minus its liabilities. It refers to the total value of net wealth possessed by the citizens of a nation at a set point in time.

Given that multi-national corporations exist, it seems obvious that companies will have greater wealth than nations.

That doesn't follow because every non-totalitarian country has multiple corporations operating in it, in most countries a much larger number than the maximum number of countries a corporation could possibly operate in.
