Well according to Interbrand who has recently released their Best Global Brands rankings for 2014, it looks like Apple has managed to nab the top spot as well. The Cupertino company is currently valued at a whopping $118.9 billion putting it at the top of the list. This is followed by Google who comes in second at a valuation of $107 billion.
There are other tech companies that made the list as well, such as IBM who came in fourth place, Microsoft in fifth, Samsung in seventh, and Intel in twelfth place, just to name a few. It seems that these tech companies have managed to beat out the likes of entertainment giants such as Disney and MTV, as well as car manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz and BMW, who came in tenth and eleventh respectively.
While there is some subjectivity involved in choosing these brands’ rankings, Interbrand is boasting that their methodology is the first of its kind to be certified by the International Organization of Standardization, which is saying a lot, but what do you guys think? Does Apple deserve that number one spot?
