Not my answer, but it seems like it was meant just for you...
I would define your parameters for answering this question. My
recommendation would be to rate the categories of population, State
Economy and produced goods and services (a state version of the GDP),
fortune 500 companies, land value and accumulated personal wealth.
This is off the top of my head, but I would lay those out, and most
likely you'll come up with Texas, California and New York, with
Florida being a close fourth.
One more note, I would not think about individual companies and their
impact on their states, only the broad numbers associated with that
state. For instance, don't take Microsoft in Washington or Johns
Hopkins in Maryland into consideration. Then you are getting into
philosophy which is not measurable.
