Apple’s brand value increased a whopping 129 percent to $76.58 billion, the most for any company on the list, pushing it six spots up from eight last year to second place this year.

This let Google surpass its rival for the first time, as the search giant saw its brand grow 26 percent to $69.73 billion, by maintaining its fourth place spot. IBM was third with a brand value of $75.53 billion.
