Just a small correction. US GDP is closer to $17 trillion. Going by the IMF and World Bank.

The public data set I used goes only up to 2011. We've grown since, but since the numbers for other components also are c. 2011, it's better to compare them directly. (Actually, the financials are from present-day, so it's not an exact comparison, but if anything the error will be in favor of private companies being a greater portion of the economy.)
