Barbie's Story

careers, represented 40 different
countries and collaborated with more than 70 different
fashion designers. With one Barbie doll sold every 3 seconds somewhere in the world, Barbie remains the world’s most popular doll and a powerhouse brand among girls of all ages. Through the decades, the Barbie brand has evolved with girls, extending into entertainment, online and more than 45 different consumer products categories. With a large social media presence on Twitter, YouTube and Facebook, Barbie is everywhere girls are today.
