Apple, Google brands worth $100 billion each: study

Google takes everyone's private datas and use it for their commercial expansion. They have been violating privacy ever since. I always watch cat videos on Youtube and I always find some cat advertisement from the sidebars of websites I visit. This is how they make $$$$$. No surprise if they're on the top of brand chain.

Complete list:

Japan now has only one brand, Toyota, among the top 10, and Samsung is worth over 5 times what Sony is. Japan Inc. needs to wake up fast, as the global economy is rapidly getting away from them.

Its a shame that a brand like apple which is just a luxury brand is more worth than a brand like google, that does a lot of good and actually USEFUL things like searchengine, gmail, gdocs and what not.

Jerseyboy, this listing was done before Samsung reported it lost 60% of its profit. And all the jcompanies combined in the report far exceed Korea's.

I wouldn't be so smug, koreaboy. Samsung's profits have been diminishing for 3 straight quarters now.

titanium -- the ranking is based on the value of the brand, not the stock. So the recent earnings decline is of no relevance. If it were, Sony owuld not even be listed.

kickboard -- first off, I have no association with Korea nor love for it, but, more to the point, at least Samsung has real profits to diminish. All Sony is doing is selling off assets to show phony profits, which is why its debt is rated as junk.

Jerseyboy, that is not a temporary fall for Samsung. It will be the trend for the company from now. Here's why:

Umm... Apple is worth a lot more than $100bn. Their iPhone business alone earns them $90bn / yr in revenue - easily more than McDonalds & Coca Cola put together.

titanium -- thanks for the link, and here's the bottom line of the article in regards to mobile phones:

In short, Samsung is getting attacked from both the high and low ends of the market because its products don't offer a unique or premium experience.

Which means that ONE PART of their business is under attack. But the article goes on to point out that Samsung is well represented in many other segments of the electronics business, so the future is not all doom-and-gloom. But, respectfully, what does that have anything to do with Sony, which was my original point? Sony is the classic case of a company that got "attacked from both the high and low ends of the market", and could not respond. Which is why, as I stated, their corporate bonds are now rated as junk.

@jerseyboy not surprised by your korean bias, but what about Honda, Nissan, etc? They are doing well too like the article indicates. More disdain toward aything or anyone JP from you, I guess.
