For three years running, Apple has been named at the top of Barron’s list of the world’s most respected companies. As of 2013, however, Apple’s run has come to an end. The coveted title now goes to Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, and Disney jumped into the No.2 spot on the list. Apple has fallen from first to third-place, and Google and Coca-Cola round out the top-five. The rankings are determined by a Barron’s poll of professional money managers that has been conducted each year since 2005.
