Outside of technology giants like Nvidia and Apple, you may not have heard of many of the top 10 publicly traded companies that delivered the highest 25-year total return to their investors.
A few years later, on October 22, 1999, its stock price had risen slightly to over $3.
If you had invested $10,000 in the company at that time, your investment would be worth nearly $9 million as of October 22, per CNBC's calculations.
Nvidia has experienced meteoric growth in the value of its stock over the past quarter century as well.
A $10,000 investment in Nvidia made 25 years ago would be worth a little over $32 million now.
