Best Companies of All Time

The Top Ten
1 Apple Apple Inc. is an American multinational technology company that specializes in consumer electronics, software and online services headquartered in Cupertino, California, United States. Apple is the largest technology company by revenue (totaling US $365.8 billion in 2021) and as of May 2022, and, as of June 2022, is the world's biggest company by market capitalization, the fourth-largest personal... read more

Apple is the best. They pioneered a lot of things that are now standards. Take iPods, for example. Apple didn't invent music players, but they made them really popular. Or iPhones: the latest phones before the iPhone were BlackBerrys and Nokias, which are pretty outdated these days. When Apple released the iPhone, people bought it in droves. It was so popular that everyone else started making phones similar to Apple's. Without modern phones, we wouldn't have a lot of features, like mobile VPN services.

Fun fact: Apple made their first computer around 10 years before Microsoft made their first computer, if you count LisaOS.

They have higher revenue and profit this year than the above companies. They invented iPods, sell the most amount of songs per year, have awesome computers, and offer professional software at affordable prices. They've even surpassed Walmart as the company with the most profit this year. They also pioneered the tablet field and helped bring computers to where they are today. Without Macs, PCs would be half as slow and run even worse software. Those who say "richest companies in the world" are misleading because Microsoft is now shrinking, and Facebook and other companies are slowly taking over the Internet.

2 Google Google is an American multinational technology company specializing in Internet-related services and products. These include online advertising technologies, search, cloud computing, and software.

Really creative, innovative, and open source. They took their business and work style to another level.

Google is like the Disney of animated movies.

I think Google should be number one on this list.

3 Microsoft Microsoft Corporation is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Redmond, Washington, that develops, manufactures, licenses, supports and sells computer software, consumer electronics and personal computers and services.

There is no computer ever to have existed that has not had a Microsoft operating system on it, basically Windows. Everything just works all the time. The rival, Apple, has had no such luck, though the reason remains an enigma. From Windows 95 to Windows 10, I like them all.

They have the best computers. I had a MacBook Pro and it lagged and messed up. It was a bad PC. I got a Windows 10 computer when I was 12, and it was perfect for a PC. My aunt works for Microsoft in Irvine, CA, and she gave me an Xbox One. Xbox is good.

They made PCs, the Zune, and not to forget the best console of all time, the Xbox 360. Too bad Nintendo and Sony will never get close to what the greatest company of all time achieved.

4 Coca-Cola Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink. It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company of Atlanta, Georgia, and is often referred to simply as Coke.

People seem to forget that Coca-Cola is the reason why we have the classic Santa Claus image: the plump, jolly old man with the big white beard. There are few brands that have had such a huge cultural impact the way Coca-Cola has.

I'd have to say, sitting on the couch with an iPod or iPad wouldn't be the same without a Coke.

Everywhere, in every country, there's Coca-Cola.

5 Sony Sony Group Corporation, commonly known as Sony and stylized as SONY, is a Japanese multinational conglomerate corporation headquartered in Kōnan, Minato, Tokyo, Japan.

As a major technology company, it operates as one of the world's largest manufacturers of consumer and professional electronic products, the largest video game console company and the largest video game publisher. Through Sony... read more

Best televisions, decent phones, decent gaming consoles, decent laptops.

Class and quality, so I am well pleased with my Sony products.

6 Samsung The Samsung Group (or simply Samsung, stylized as SAMSUNG) is a South Korean multinational manufacturing conglomerate headquartered in Samsung Town, Seoul, South Korea. It comprises numerous affiliated businesses, most of them united under the Samsung brand, and is the largest South Korean chaebol (business conglomerate). As of 2020, Samsung has the 8th highest global brand value... read more

The best. Much better than other electronics companies.

7 Disney The Walt Disney Company, commonly known as Disney, is an American diversified multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate headquartered at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California.

Come on! This should be in the top three! They have Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, Fox, Disney+, Disney World, Disneyland, Aulani Beach Resort, Disney Cruise, Shop Disney, Disney Travel, Disney Paris, Tokyo Disney, Hong Kong Disney, and Shanghai Disney. Is there anything else Disney needs?

Some of their stuff is so overpriced that it's truly ridiculous! However, most of the children's movies and shows are very loved, so Disney deserves some respect for that.

Such an amazing company. Walt Disney is so interesting, and this company is a good role model for all companies.

8 Nintendo Nintendo Co., Ltd. is a Japanese multinational consumer electronics and software company headquartered in Kyoto, Japan.

Nintendo was founded in 1889 as Nintendo Karuta by craftsman Fusajiro Yamauchi and originally produced handmade hanafuda playing cards. After venturing into various lines of business during the 1960s and acquiring a legal status as a public company, Nintendo distributed its... read more

Nintendo is awesome. Great video games like Super Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Kirby, Star Fox, Pokemon, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, and Super Smash Bros, among others. They all have great plots and characters that are very memorable. Don't forget some of the awesome Nintendo music. Once you hear it, it'll stay in your head.

Nintendo saved the entire gaming industry and has made more absolutely incredible video games than any other company. They've brought everyone around the world so many fond memories and joy and are absolutely one of the best companies of all time!

Higher. With so many classics, Nintendo should be ranked higher than fifth. I mean, they were one of the first video game companies.

9 Amazon Amazon.com, commonly known as Amazon, is an American electronic commerce and cloud computing company that was founded on July 5, 1994, by Jeff Bezos and is based in Seattle, Washington.

Number 34, come on, people. Amazon is awesome! They offer exactly what you want at a cheaper price than other stores. It's also like eBay, where you can sell your own stuff. They are also nice to their employees, paying their warehouse workers $12 an hour, which is much better than other companies. I'm looking at you, Walmart!

This should be number 1! 1. It's better than Google, Apple, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, McDonald's, Dell, and you get the idea. 2. It has produced more things than Apple.

This should be way higher. While all these companies manufacture products, Amazon not only sells them but also makes their own.

10 Marvel
The Contenders
11 Ford The Ford Motor Company is an American multinational automaker headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit.

A whole era was named after it! This refers to a certain type of production procedure.

It was the best vehicle company in the world! Making cars much better!

12 The Lego Group

Seriously, who can put down Lego? They come out with the best toys, and my boys would definitely agree because it's on their Christmas and birthday lists every year!

Lego is hard not to like! And although I wouldn't say it's the best, it is much better than Sony, Microsoft, and Apple!

Of course! I am an avid LEGO collector and have over $15,000 worth of LEGO. The money is worth it!

13 Toyota Toyota is a Japanese car manufacturer, located in Toyota, Japan. Some of their most notable cars include the Prius, Corolla, and Highlander.

With reliability and safety as their priorities, they may not invest many resources in automotive development. However, you are always guaranteed a long-lasting, adaptable vehicle.

14 Dell Dell Inc. is an American privately owned multinational computer technology company based in Round Rock, Texas, United States, that develops, sells, repairs, and supports computers and related products and services.
15 20th Century Fox 20th Century Studios is an American film studio which is a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Studios, a division of The Walt Disney Company. The studio is located in Los Angeles and was formerly known as 20th Century Fox before Disney bought Fox on March 20th, 2019.
16 Lucasfilm

Lucasfilm is very good. They are responsible for Star Wars!

17 Sega Sega Games Co., Ltd., originally short for Service Games and officially styled as SEGA, is a Japanese multinational video game developer and publisher headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, with multiple offices around the world.

In my opinion, Sega is Nintendo done right.

18 HP The Hewlett-Packard Company was an American multinational information technology company headquartered in Palo Alto, California.
19 Nerf

The company produces great guns, and no safety equipment is needed.

20 Mojang Mojang AB is a Swedish video game developer founded in May 2009 under the name Mojang Specifications by game programmer Markus Persson, best known for creating the popular independent game Minecraft, a sandbox game.

It brought back retro graphics and taught people that gameplay is better than graphics.

22 Walmart

Truly an amazing company! Their backstory is incredible. They donate so much to charity and provide jobs for millions of people worldwide. Sam Walton is a genius, and the rest of the Walton family does so much for our country. If you look into Walmart more, you'll realize how amazing it really is!

23 IBM

The best technology company in US history. The US government has continually tried to destroy it, almost succeeding. Yet, they rely on it daily to manage the country.

24 BMW BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke in German, or Bavarian Motor Works in English) is a German multinational company which currently produces luxury automobiles and motorcycles, and also produced aircraft engines until 1945.

Many have disliked them recently due to their habit of frequent changes, but that speaks volumes about their view on innovation. They always produce exciting cars. Although they may not be at the top of their class, the popularity of this company speaks for itself. Everyone knows what a BMW is.

This company has created some of the most secure, efficient, and sporty cars, planes, and all sorts of great transport in the world.

If you can't buy a Mercedes, go for a BMW.

25 DC Comics DC Comics, Inc. is an American comic book publisher. It is the publishing unit of DC Entertainment, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. DC Comics is one of the largest and oldest American comic book companies.
