To be able to understand why
LEGO has been successful for so long, just look to the name.
LEGO originally got its name from founder Ole Kirk Christiansen who combed the Danish words "Leg Got" which means "play well". He later realized that
LEGO in Latin translates to "I put together." The
LEGO set became a standard of creative play for children worldwide, unlocking the creativity to build vehicles, buildings, cities and more. Historians point to the invention of the wheel as a major turning point in world history. The invention of the
LEGO wheel had the same monumental effect in the history of
LEGO, making it possible to create cars, trucks and eventually the
LEGO train building set that is one of the most successful
LEGO sets of all time.
LEGO currently produces about 20 billion
LEGO bricks a year and has sold over 400 billion LEGOs in their history -- enough for every person on the planet to have over 60 LEGOs each!
