 Who owns all the major brands in the world?

All the biggest product brands in the world are owned by a handful of corporation.

Food, cleaning products, banks, airlines, cars, media companies… everything is in the hands of these megacorporations. These graphics show how everything is connected.

Consumer goods

In the supermarket—as you can see in the graphic at the top—Mondelez, Kraft, Coca-Cola, Nestlé, Pepsico, P&G, Johnson&Johnson, Mars, Danone, General Mills, Kellogg’s, and Unilever own everything.

Financial assets

It doesn’t stop in the supermarket, of course. Our money is all in the hands of a few megacorporations too. Here’s all the stuff that merged into Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo since 1996.

Now, according to MotherJones, 54% of all the financial assets in the United States are owned by just 10 institutions.

Companies don’t care about you

Brands don’t care about you…

Institutions don’t care about you either.

The only people who are able to care about you are people.

The question is: How this institution owned and organized and run by people will allow the people who work there to care?

Generally, the answer is ‘No’, because caring is unpredictable, hard to command and regulate and sometimes expensive in the short run.

What a shame.
