Of course the top 500 stock valuation is loosely tied to GDP, because the GDP is sales and sales are how you value companies(not exactly, but it works as a rough measure generally).

It's not my fault you posed a question that empirically has the answer you don't want. If you give 100 million people a dollar each you are going to add very close to that directly and immediately to the GDP. Giving it to a company is unlikely to even see a return of half that and even then it would be over 5 to 10 years where inflation would have devalued it as well.
