Forbes
In September 1917, Forbes published its first issue, marking the publication’s 100th anniversary. Is it possible that it has been 103 years since that event occurred? The publication has since evolved into a reliable source of information, publishing definitive and dependable celebrity and business rankings. We’re sure you’ve heard of some of its well-known lists, such as the World’s 100 Most Powerful Women and the 30 Under 30 list.

It is no longer owned by an American corporation, but rather by a Hong Kong-based company called Integrated Whale Media Investments, which was founded in 2008.

Dirt Devil
Dirt Devil vacuum cleaners have been keeping American homes clean and organized for over a century. Philip Geier invented it in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1905, and it is still in use today. Since then, the product line has expanded to include over 25 million units sold around the world. This is primarily due to the one-of-a-kind Cyclone system.

Even though the company’s headquarters are still in North Carolina, it is proudly owned by Techtronic Industries, a Chinese company. It does not only own the Dirt Devil brand of household appliances. According to the company, it also purchased Hoover a few years ago. We are confident that the HK-based company’s appliance investment portfolio has improved as a result of these selections.
