Submission Deadline is March 14, 2025.
The Global 100 List offers a unique perspective on the global impact of the industry by recognizing companies exceeding $100 million in annual revenue. It provides a range of mutual learning not only for industry members but also for researchers, investors and—most important—those seeking opportunities within the industry.
Recognition for each of these companies is the culmination of months of research and the cooperation of many individuals around the world. Wherever possible, the DSN team seeks out public records and documents for publicly traded companies, and nearly 80 percent of the DSN Global 100 data is compiled from privately held companies.
To participate, a company need only submit a net revenue number validated by the CEO and certified by a qualified agent via Revenue Certification Form (RCF). The ranking criteria is net sales revenue from direct selling operations before commissions and without value-added tax.
DSN thanks all the companies that willingly participate in the Global 100 as well as the dedicated team of researchers who help present the remarkable achievements of direct sellers around the globe.
IF SOMEONE OTHER THAN THE TOP EXECUTIVE OFFICER ALSO SHOULD BE CONTACTED WITH THE NOMINATION INFORMATION, PLEASE SUBMIT THAT PERSON’S INFORMATION:
Please tell us a bit more about the company:
Please provide your direct selling operations’ net global sales revenue for 2024, before commissions paid and without value-added tax (VAT) in whole dollar amount and without commas.
By clicking SUBMIT, I certify that information presented in this form is true and accurate.
Why did DSN start the Global 100 list?
DSN created the Global 100 list to acknowledge the achievements of direct selling companies and to provide a clear picture of the magnitude of the industry. Just as every credible industry ranks its players—through Inc. 500, FORTUNE 500, and Forbes’ lists—DSN wanted to show the public what a viable and credible industry direct selling is.
Who uses the Global 100 list?
The DSN Global 100 list offers a unique perspective on the global impact the industry has on economic and social levels. It provides a scope of learning not only for industry members, but also for researchers, investors and those seeking opportunities within the industry. When DSN began the ranking in 2010, it was committed to creating a fair ranking that would showcase a transparent industry, thus providing credibility and consumer confidence as well as research support for those desiring information on direct selling companies.
What research process is utilized to produce the Global 100 ranking?
The identification of the companies to include in the DSN Global 100 list is the culmination of months of research and the cooperation of many individuals throughout the world. Wherever possible, the DSN team seeks out public records and documents for publicly traded companies exceeding $100 million in annual revenue. Additionally, the team reaches out to the private companies that may qualify for the ranking. Research begins in December and continues through to the publication of the Global 100 list. To fully reflect the global reach of direct selling, each year, DSN has been able to extend the boundaries of research by working with research partners, including China-based World Direct Selling Research Institute, to obtain information on international companies.
How is privately held company data compiled?
Nearly four-fifths of the DSN Global 100 data is derived from privately held companies. Most of this data comes from the companies themselves, which submit a revenue number validated by the CEO and certified by a qualified agent, and when they submit they enhance the value of the industry’s strategic objective to showcase a much more transparent business model. These companies could have chosen not to participate; however, their cooperative spirit, which so exemplifies this unique industry, makes the Global 100 ranking possible.
What revenue number does DSN ask for in the research process?
To participate in the DSN Global 100, a company need only submit a net revenue number validated by the CEO and certified by a qualified agent. DSN does not request confidential financial documents. DSN respects the financial privacy of all direct selling companies, asking that a company only reveal the annual revenue number that will allow it to be placed in the ranking.
What is the purpose of the Revenue Certification Form (RCF)?
In an effort to further ensure the integrity of the Global 100 list, DSN instituted the Revenue Certification Form, or RCF. The RCF requires all private companies to have their revenue number validated by the CEO and certified by a qualified agent (either at the applicant company or an outside independent source). DSN believes any company performing in a manner warranting identification and recognition as one of the Global 100 companies would proudly share its revenue number in a manner deemed fair to all.
Why isn’t Value-Added Tax included in the revenue number?
The ranking criteria is net sales revenue from direct selling operations before commissions and without value-added tax. The VAT, from DSN’s perspective, is certainly an integral part of the salesperson’s life; however, it is not a part of the corporate revenue as we track it.
Why aren’t some companies I know of on the list?
There are both nationally and internationally based companies worthy of recognition in the DSN Global 100 ranking that do not appear on the list. If you do not see a specific company it could be that (1) the company was contacted but declined to participate, (2) the company did not respond to requests, or (3) the company did not submit information in time. Each year, new companies come onto the radar screen and every attempt is made to connect with them.
Breaking global news, emerging trends and powerful stories conveniently curated to help direct selling executives stay informed, engaged and a step ahead.

Web3 fantasy shooter Kokodi Arena has officially launched Season 1 on the HyperPlay platform and is now open to NFT holders.
Kokodi Arena combines elements of battle royale and extraction shooter genres, offering a mix of strategy, teamwork, and high-stakes combat.
This new season brings the Play-to-Airdrop feature, where players can earn rewards such as $KOKO tokens, NFTs, and other in-game items by accumulating Play Points (PP) through gameplay.
In Season 1, Kokodi Arena introduces Play Points as the in-game currency for earning rewards.
Players can earn Play Points through Quick Match, the game’s primary mode for competitive play. Points are awarded for kills, captures, and victories, with each kill or capture earning 100 PP. Winning a match doubles the points earned during that session.
At the end of the season, players’ accumulated Play Points can be converted into $KOKO tokens. These tokens, set to fully launch in early 2025, will power the game’s economy and provide discounts on in-game purchases. Additional prizes for high-ranking players include rare NFT skins and invite codes, though specific details about these codes have yet to be disclosed.
Participation in Kokodi Arena Season 1 requires ownership of specific NFTs: KOKODI, Mask, or Lootbox. These NFTs are available for purchase on platforms such as OpenSea and Sphere. Lootboxes, the most affordable option, are currently listed at around $7.50.
To join, players must download Kokodi Arena through the HyperPlay launcher. The Quick Match gameplay, which awards Play Points, is available daily between 18:00 and 20:00 UTC. Whilst the season’s end date has not been announced, this structured play window ensures a consistent and active player base during Season 1.
Kokodi Arena is currently an NFT-gated game but is expected to become free-to-play in the future, with plans to release on the Epic Games Store.

Voters will be participating in several of the 273 contests across Lake County in the upcoming April general election for a variety of local offices, but only 62 of the races will be contested.
Lake County voters will choose mayors, village presidents, school board members, township officials, park commissioners, library trustees and fire protection district representatives on April 1, officials who will have a direct influence on their lives.
Lake County Clerk Anthony Vega said local officials make decisions dealing with schools, public safety, property taxes, garbage pickup and much more. People also have easier access to local office-holders than those in state or national positions.
“Voters have more direct access to local officials,” Vega said. “As the county clerk, people often approach me in the grocery store. These are the people who oversee your libraries and parks.”
With voters picking their next mayor or village president in 31 municipalities across the county, only voters in 10 towns will have the opportunity to choose among more than one candidate. There are primaries on Feb. 25 in Waukegan and North Chicago.
Waukegan Mayor Ann Taylor and Ald Keith Turner, 6th Ward, are already on the ballot as independents in that city’s mayoral contest. They will be opposed by the Democratic primary winner — former Mayor Sam Cunningham or Miguel A. Rivera Sr. — and Republican Harold Beadling. Beadling is unopposed in the GOP primary.
Either North Chicago Mayor Leon Rockingham Jr. or Ald. Kenneth Smith, 5th Ward, will advance from the primary to face independents  Ald. Anthony Coleman, 2nd Ward, and David Hood in the face to lead their city.
In Gurnee, Mayor Thomas Hood is facing a challenge from Trustee Quin O’Brien. With Mundelein Mayor Steve Lentz not seeking reelection, Trustee Robin D. Meier and Trustee Tim Wilson hope to win the job.
Seeking to replace Grayslake Mayor Rhett Taylor, who is not running for reelection, are Avon Township Trustee Jeffrey Loffredo and Grayslake Trustee Elizabeth Davies. In Round Lake, Trustee Brian Brubaker is challenging Village President Russell S. Kraly for the top job.
Three other area mayors are facing challenges. Winthrop Harbor Mayor Michael Bruno is competing against Trustee Robert Marabella to keep his job, while in Fox Lake Mayor Donald “Donny” Schmidt will compete against Sean R. Stochi. Round Lake Park Mayor Linda M. Lucassen is defending her job against Robert H. Seminary.
A three-way contest for mayor in Island Lake pits current Mayor Richard McLaughlin, Trustee Stacey Pyne and Public Works Director Brian Bartnick against each other.
Of Lake County’s 45 municipal legislative offices with elections for city councils or village boards, only 12 have contested races.
In township contests, there are 56 races. They include 12 township supervisors, along with trustees, assessors, clerks and highway commissioners, Of the 12 supervisorial positions, six are contested.
With 64 election contests among 64 school boards, including the College of Lake County, 17 are contested while most of the others are not. In some situations, there are not enough candidates to fill all open slots.
Though most school board elections are uncontested, in places like Waukegan, Antioch, Highland Park, Wauconda, Lake Zurich and Libertyville, twice as many candidates are running for the available positions or nearly that amount.
Seeking two seats on the College of Lake County Board of Trustees are seven individuals. Voters will also pick legislative bodies for their parks, libraries and fire protection districts.
While there are currently 273 elections countywide, Vega said those listed are the contests that have been certified with his office. Governmental entities have until Jan. 23 to certify their candidates.
Vega said voters can request vote-by-mail ballots to be permanently sent to them. They can also seek one for the Feb 25 primary in Waukegan and North Chicago, but must wait until Jan. 2 to ask for one for the April contest.
Early voting for the primary starts Jan. 16 on the ground floor of the Lake County Courthouse and Administration Building in Waukegan, and Feb. 10 at North Chicago City Hall.
A complete candidate list of all 273 elections is available on the county clerk’s website.

Max Verstappen’s teammates have been no match for his talent.
With Sergio Perez stepping back from Red Bull Racing in 2025, 22-year-old Liam Lawson has been promoted to a top-level Formula 1 team with just 11 races under his belt. It’s a dream come true for the New Zealander — but how long will the dream last?
Much has been made of Max Verstappen’s generational talent, and the impact that his hard-charging performance has had on his teammates. We’re taking a look back at how Verstappen stacked up against each teammate he had on his way up the F1 ladder.
While most aspiring Formula 1 drivers while away their late teens and early 20s in various junior-level open-wheel categories on their way up the Formula 1 ladder, Max Verstappen was different.
After a stunning karting career that resulted in countless regional titles, as well as a World Championship, Verstappen contested exactly one season of international Formula 3 before he was propelled into the ranks of F1 courtesy of his ties with the Red Bull junior team.
Since then, Verstappen has tamed a fiery temper to secure four World Championships, crushing his teammates in the process.
We’re going to take a dive into how Verstappen has compared to every teammate in his professional racing career.
Max Verstappen joined Jules Szymkowiak and Gustavo Menezes at Van Amersfoort Racing in the 2014 FIA Formula 3 World Championship, where they contested 33 races at 11 different tracks.
Esteban Ocon and Tom Blomqvist took the first two positions in the championship, but Verstappen was a close third with 411 points to Ocon’s 478 and Blomqvist’s 420.
His teammates? Menezes finished 11th in the championship with a total of 91 points and a best result of two third-place finishes. Szymkowiak finished 20th, securing 17 total points with five finishes in the top 10.
Just for some comparison, Verstappen didn’t start a race, and retired from eight more — but his 10 wins exceeded the total wins scored by both Ocon and Blomqvist.
At the conclusion of the season, it was announced that Verstappen would be promoted to Formula 1 —  the youngest driver in history to earn that honor. He would partner Carlos Sainz at Toro Rosso.
Toro Rosso made headlines in 2015 when it signed two rookie drivers — Verstappen and Sainz — to its team that season. Verstappen’s single year in single-seaters made him far less experienced than Sainz, who had been marinating in the Red Bull Junior program for five years.
Though they remained tightly matched in head-to-head qualifying and race stats, the Dutch driver was resoundingly more impressive when it came time to score points. Verstappen finished fourth twice, while Sainz could only manage a best finish of seventh during their time as teammates.
Such was Verstappen’s performance that, four races into 2016, he received the call to swap places with Red Bull’s Daniil Kvyat, providing him with a new teammate in Daniel Ricciardo.
Of all of Verstappen’s Formula 1 teammates, Ricciardo was his closest competition. Though the young Verstappen roundly outqualified and outperformed the more experienced on his team, Ricciardo rarely straggled behind. After 58 races together, Ricciardo had only scored 18 fewer points.
However, these were extremely formative years. Verstappen learned what it was was like to win races, secure podiums, and mount a serious challenge against a teammate.
It also proved to be critical for Red Bull Racing. During the Ricciardo/Verstappen era, the team clearly began to trend toward prioritizing Verstappen. Ricciardo could see that he wouldn’t be the favorite and departed the team for Renault, leaving Verstappen as the undisputed king of Red Bull Racing.
With Ricciardo gone, Red Bull Racing promoted Pierre Gasly from its junior team — but only briefly. The French driver was only in his second full season of F1 competition, and the pressure from the team seemed to crush Gasly before he could find his footing.
He lasted a handful of races as Verstappen’s teammate before being demoted to Toro Rosso, with rookie Alex Albon taking over.

👉 Revealed: The three rules introduced by the FIA because of Max Verstappen
Just 12 races into his Formula 1 career, Alex Albon was given an impossible task: Outperform Max Verstappen. Unfortunately, despite finishing his first season strong as a Red Bull driver, Albon clearly lagged behind the more experienced Verstappen.
At the conclusion of the 2020 season, Albon departed not only Red Bull, but Formula 1 as a whole, before returning in 2022.
In signing Sergio Perez, Red Bull took a risk. It hedged its bets on a driver outside of its own junior program — albeit one with a decade of F1 experience to draw from. If anyone could bring the seemingly impenetrable Verstappen back down to reality, it would be Perez.
Instead, it was the nail in the coffin of Perez’s career.
Recency bias can make it easy to forget that Perez started out strong. He played the role of second driver extremely well, helping Red Bull secure World Constructors’ Championship and helping Verstappen in pursuit of his drivers’ titles.
But just a handful of races into the 2024 season, Perez suffered an inexplicable drop in performance made all the worse by the fact that teams like Mercedes, McLaren, and Ferrari had all brought impressive upgrades to their machinery. His future was already in doubt heading into the summer break, and it was admittedly a surprise that he lasted all the way to the end of 2024.
Now, heading into 2025, Verstappen will have a new teammate: Liam Lawson. For the first time in his Formula 1 career, Verstappen will be paired with a teammate younger than him — but will that have any impact on how the season plays out?
It’s near impossible to tell without a crystal ball. But we can skim back through Lawson’s resumé, if only to gain some sense of how he stacked up against others.
Unlike Verstappen, Lawson has spent eight years in junior formulae, working up from a Formula First Winter Series to Formula 2. And his stats are decent:
Plus, Lawson has also raced in 11 Grands Prix, giving him ample competitive experience heading into his first full-time F1 season.
Will it be enough for Lawson to challenge Verstappen for first-driver status at Red Bull Racing? Or will we see another driver falter in the face of the four-time champion’s generational talent?
Only time will tell.

Given that we’re waiting for Wicked Part 2, we can’t fail to mention The Wizard of Oz. Starring the beloved Judie Garland as Dorothy, the critically acclaimed film is known for its “innovative use of Technicolor.” The 1939 film is based on the children’s novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. It is the inspiration for the novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire, which we now know as the musical rendition, Wicked.

Starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, The Sound of Music movie takes you through the touching story of nun-to-be Maria and the Von Trapp Family singers. The movie won five Academy Awards, including Best picture and is known for its beautiful cinematography. The original musical debuted in 1959 on Broadway and has had many revivals since. Popular songs kids will love from The Sound of Music include “Do-Re-Mi” and “My Favorite Things.”

An American classic, Mary Poppins, became the nanny everyone wished they had. Starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, this film is filled with magic, dance, and life lessons—like reminding parents to let go and have a little fun once in a while. The 2018 version, Mary Poppins Returns, is another beautiful performance played by Emily Blunt.
A note for parents: The PG-13 rating was introduced in 1984, so PG rating in an earlier movie may look more like a PG-13 rating by today’s standards for violence, language, thematic elements, and nudity. If you’re concerned, we suggest watching it without your kids first.

There are so many Disney animated movies that are considered musicals. In recent years, Disney has come back with live-action movies of our childhood favorites, like The Little Mermaid and Aladdin. As an adult, it has been fun to relive the stories I grew up with, and now I get to experience them alongside my own kids. I don’t know about you, but since I’ve become a parent, I’ve fully embraced my love for animated musicals, and the Disney ones aren’t the only musicals I love singing along with. Others include Oscar-winning Anastasia and Golden Globe nominee The Book of Life.

We’ve reviewed all the musicals, but how do you get the most cinematic experience right at home? The best way to watch musical movies is by streaming them in HD. That also means enhancing the audio with a surround sound system because, let’s be honest, it’s like a concert after all. And if you’re watching with friends, make it even better by organizing your own musical-themed watch parties—subtitles on for ample sing-along enjoyment. This robust list of musical movies will surely hold you over until Wicked Part 2 finally hits theaters. Currently warming up my vocals now.

A mom of two, Kathy is passionately committed to sharing the honest, helpful—and often humorous—stories of motherhood, as she navigates her own everyday adventures of work, marriage, and parenting. She honed her creative and strategic skills at advertising agencies in Detroit and Chicago, before pivoting from marketing to editorial. Now instead of telling brand stories, she’s sharing her own, with articles published across popular parenting sites—including hundreds of stories on The Everymom.
