Motorola
Best known for its tech products, Motorola started in Schaumburg, Illinois, way before the concept of mobile phones were even introduced. After they launched in 1928, the company had steady growth, eventually reaching its peak of success thanks to flip phones. Google finally bought the company and later sold it to the Chinese company named Lenovo in 2014. This proved to be an unwise decision by google as they purchased the company for $12 billion and sold it for $2.9 billion.
Forbes
Forbes introduced their first issue in September of 1917. The trusted magazine has since then released actual rankings of celebrities and companies. We can be sure that almost everyone has heard of their popular lists such as the World’s 100 Most Powerful Women and 30 Under 30. Despite people assuming that Forbes is an American Publication, it is owned by a Hong Kong-based company called Integrated Whale Media Investments. They purchased Forbes for $400 million in 2014.
