1. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL)

Total market cap of the company as at February 22, 2021 (in billions of dollars): $2,134

Easily topping the list of the 10 most valuable companies in the world in February 2021 is Apple, which is one of only two companies in the world to have a market cap of more than $2 trillion. Founded by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in 1976, the company was actually in a significant rut in the early 200s, but the production of the iPhone saw the company’s fortunes being revived and it has not looked back since. It is one of the biggest companies in terms of sales, with $274.5 billion in 2020, while also maintaining 147,000 employees. One of the reasons why the company is so successful is because of the brand loyalty it commands, which has resulted in people forming long lines on the day of the release of a new product, and refusing to switch to cheaper substitutes. In fact, it is considered to be the most valuable brand in the world right now.
