And now let's do the numbers.
The LEGO Empire's Billion-Dollar Build-Up
The LEGO Group, under the visionary leadership of the fourth-generation Kirk Kristiansen family, has impressively bolstered its financial might amidst a challenging global toy market.
Last year, the family's empire celebrated a 5.9% increase in net income to $1.62 billion, while their investments yielded returns of $435 million. LEGO's strategic innovations and partnerships, notably with Fortnite and enhancements in theme park experiences, have fueled a 4% sales growth, pushing revenues to $9.7 billion, and further solidifying their legacy in both physical and digital play.
It's a testament to LEGO's enduring appeal that even in a digital age, people still want to play with tiny, foot-destroying bricks.
