Line 13:
It pretty much goes without saying that any investor who owns more than 1% or so of one of these organizitions will be a member of the [[Fiction 500]]. If an organization is owned largely by one individual or a relatively small group, please file the example under [[Fiction 500]], not here.

* Arguably many if not all the major factions in ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]''. As the [[TV Tropes]] entry states "Entire planets with populations of billions are lost due to rounding errors in tax returns."
 
 
Line 76:
* ''[[Mass Effect]] 2'' has Cerberus, a privately-backed military group with enough funding to operate many research facilities throughout the galaxy, build an improved version of one of [[The Alliance]]'s most expensive starships, and ''bring a person back from the dead''. They do note that the previous projects took a huge chunk out of their expenses, but they never seem to be hurting for resources throughout the game.
** Not necessarily. Given that it was stated to cost a ridiculous number of credits (somewhere in the billions) to resurrect Shepard, and an even greater sum of money to fund the creation of the second ''Normandy,'' you'd think they could ''easily'' spare a quarter million for operational upgrades at the onset of the mission (which would easily let Shepard buy everything there is to buy in the Galaxy,) but instead they're incredibly tight-fisted with cash, only awarding a small dribble of funding when Shepard completes side-quests, and in some missions an [[Credits Gag|After Action Gag]] even states that the money from the mission isn't coming from Cerberus but from other sources, like a mega-corp the mission benefited. Perhaps resurrecting the greatest human to live in recent time and building a brand new ship for said person wiped Cerberus' bank account out?
** Or perhaps Shepard is just too proud to ask for more money and prefers to handle it him/herself.
** By the third game, Cerberus is capable of waging war against the galaxy.
