Sure, those companies use people's names in their names, but they're not all personality-centric (though that's a subjective assessment).

In this list, I see really only 1 - Disney. Air Jordan isn't a company, it's a brand from another company - Nike.

The others may have been named after their founders, but the companies are not about their founders and weren't started/successful because of the relationship with the founder.
