I can't speak for the other companies on the list, but the Brown & Brown, Info is just a wee bit off, and by wee bit, I mean a lot.
B&B had almost a half Billion Dollars in commission revenue last year for their P&C business alone. Unless they're getting 50% commission splits, I don't think that the $1 billion in P&C premium is accurate. They did more than that in their Florida division alone.

If you do a rough average of 10% commission per account, that would put B&B at $4-$5 Billion in P&C premium for 2004 not $1 Billion.
And they're headquartered in Daytona Beach not Mailand, FL.

When your information is SKEWED this badly, it's easy to question the validity of the article and the entire magazine itself.
