Motorola
You might have presumed that Motorola was a Japanese, Korean, or Chinese-owned business to begin with (more on that later), but it was actually started up in Schaumburg, Illinois, many years before humans started even thinking about cellphones. Following its 1928 conception, the company continued to grow until it became the tech giant we know it as today. It would then be purchased by Google, which took control for $12 billion, and a couple of years later it resold for $2.9 billion. In modern times, people cannot understand why Google managed to make $10 billion on this transaction.
