Also, Roark says that all of it's investment generate approximately 37 billion in sales. Now, they own like 51% of the shares in some companies, so I will hypothetically reduce that sales number to 25 billion. That is still a ton of money. If Roark were to be on the list, it would be one of the largest f500 in all of ATL.

Sort of apples and oranges. But there is a list of global PE firms called the PEI 300. On that list Roark ranked #108 in 2018. (So don't think that by adding Roark you're not also adding 100's of other PE firms.) I think the list is done by funds raised/invested and not revenue. But certainly there is an expectation of revenue so there's likely a connection between funds raised and revenue (although not a straight line).
If you were to find a way merge the two lists by revenue I'm pretty sure Atlanta (and most other cities) would be left with fewer in the top 500 and New York would have far more. My guess is that Atlanta would keep Home Depot, Coca-Cola, Delta, UPS and maybe a 3-4 others, add Roark (the only Atlanta based PE firm on the PEI 300), and lose all the others. Again, its very hard to compare PE firms and the Fortune 500 and I'm not sure its meaningful.
