A 2025 analysis by the American Immigration Council found that 122 of the Fortune 500 companies were founded by the U.S.-born children of immigrants, including Apple's Steve Jobs, Ford's Henry Ford, and Boeing's William Boeing.

The 122 companies founded specifically by American-born children of immigrants are a significant part of that total.
