According to the newly released Best Global Brands 2020 report from Interbrand, the company which boasts the largest value backing up its brand is currently Apple, with an estimated $322.9 billion - taking it again to the top of this particular list. A touch behind is Amazon, with a value of $200,677 billion. Jeff Bezos' company was even able to increase its brand value by 60 % compared to last year.
