Fortune and Forbes publish the top 500 and 100 companies by revenues in the US. I've always been curious to know what are some of the top companies in the country besides Grupo Ramos, Corripio, Vicini, Abreus.

There has to be numerous companies genrating serious revenues in Santo Domingo and Santiago. If GDP is estimated at around 80 Billion, and Services takes around 60%+ of that pie, Agriculture 14%+ And Industry(Mining, Gold, Etc) around 23%, that means there must be atleast 100 companies generating revenues of $100+ Million. Nothing in US terms but massive for the Dominican Republic.

I always get aggravated when discussions about business turns into conversations about the Drug Dealers and the Political imbeciles that obviously do less than moral transactions.

The truth is, I've spoken to numerous Domincans who make Good money, who in turn talk to me about the Dominicans who make Serious Money and those that make more money than God. I've seen the Malls, I've seen Dominican Parking lots at clubs look like Exotic and Luxury Car Dealerships. Most business are Dominican owned and I there just aren't many International Companies in DR with the exception of Citigroup and a few others.

Does anyone know of a few companies and their service sector and a rough idea about their revenues?

And some of the building suppliers Moya, Aguayo.

And you had better believe that there are a bunch of others that are making millions for their owners.

Grupo Corripio
Grupo Viccini
Grupo Leon

Those 3 are the big players in the DR economy. Drug dealers are peasants compared to those empires.

I spoke to my cousins and uncle who have a pretty good grasp on Dominican Business. Every company is privately held so it is difficult to give accurate revenues but it is very safe to assume that there are several companies who generate over $100 Million and a handful that generate $500M-$999M.

For a company to have revenues close to $1 Billion in DR, they would have to be highly diversified in Tobacco, Beverages, Textiles and Free Zone operations, Communications, cars, plastics, transportation and real estate. So maybe companies like Grupo Central La Romana, Leon Jimenez, Grupo Corripio, and Vicinis.

Grupo Central Romana (massive land owner. refinery, agriculture, free zones)
Grupo Abrisa (Clave Digital, Semanario Clave, Cap Cana, MC School, UNIBE, Aeropuertos Dominicanos Siglo XXI, Sinercom, Instituto Nacional de Diabetes)

Grupo Rojas (Tampico, XCola, Imperio, Coco Rico, Chubbi)
Grupo L?pez (?ptica L?pez, Disco 106, Escape 88.9, Fuego 90, Radio Guarachita, La 104.5FM, AME47)
Grupo Metro (Metro ST, Metro Real EState, Embassy Hotels, Metro Country Club, Metro Tours)
Grupo Estrella (Aceros Estrella, Concredom, Multimedios del Caribe)
Grupo Rica (Juice, milk, etc)
Molinos Valle Del Cibao
Grupo Popular (Banco Popular Dominicano, Inversiones Popular, AFP Popular, BPD Bank, Popular Bank Limited)
Grupo Armenteros (Massive construction company)
Grupo Ambar (Santo Domingo Motors, National/Alamo, Todo Pieza, MotorAmbar (Islas V?rgenes) Autoambar (Venezuela)
