  • The Miss Universe competition was established in 1952 as a means to celebrate women, diversity, and " to provide the tools which help women to be their personal best ."
  • Using the Miss Universe Organization's official list , we tallied up all the winners and found out which five countries have produced the most Miss Universe titleholders.
  • The United States, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico (respectively) are the top three countries with the most winners.
  • Philippines comes in fourth place, producing four winners throughout the years, and Sweden follows with three.
