Talk:CHOAM


 * The Change

The concept of CHOAM was totally wrong. CHOAM wasn't develop to protect the Butlerian Jihad rules, who did write that? I replace it with the article from Wikipedia, it is much better. Lisan Al-Gaib 19:36, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

CHOAM
CHOAM trying to get along with Murbella and the Machines, and CHOAm trying to deal with Paul are very different organizations.

CHOAM Valuation
I hated Forbes valuation ever since I saw it: $1.7T — that's less than Apple nowadays!

My calculation would be:
 * CHOAM controlled trade in many things and they were massive, let's say that realistically they would have a revenue of several percents of the global GDP.
 * Best comparison for today — Walmart. Its revenue is about 0.5% of the global GDP and they have a market capitalisation of $425B.
 * For CHOAM that would mean a market capitalisation of about $4T, per advanced planet.

Or, let's say, for the whole empire — in today's dollars — $4 quadrillion! (i.e. 4 million billion!) Now, that explains what the Baron said — "You have no idea how much wealth is involved, Feyd, not in your wildest imaginings."!
