We may not all be conscious of brands, but there is absolutely no doubt that the world’s most popular brands are moneymakers, and often the backbone of the company that makes the brand. While much is due to the investment a company is willing to make, that won’t always keep the brand up-front in the public eye. Furthermore some brands enjoy popularity for longer than others, never seeming to fall out of favor with the buying public. This top ten list is ranked by the current brand value of each.
