King vs Challenger: How KingOfWebs Rankings Work
Ranking is based on successful takeover payments and seat order—not votes or unpaid claims.
August 27, 2026
The King
Position #1 is always the current King: the brand that paid the highest successful takeover price.
Challengers
Positions #2 and #3 are Challengers (also shown as Silver and Bronze Kings). Additional seats may appear as Contenders.
Why the list stays limited
Public seats are capped so categories stay readable instead of becoming endless directories.
