The
Fortune 500 is a ranking of the top 500 United
States public corporations as
measured by gross revenue. Fortune magazine compiles and
publishes the list annually. Fortune 100 is a frequently used
term used to reference the top 100 firms in this same list, and Fortune
1000 refers to the top 1000 firms ranked according to the same
methodology. The Forbes 500, on the other hand, ranks companies by a
balanced evaluation of revenues, income, assets and market capitalization.
All
numbers are based on revenue figures for each company's previous fiscal
year, which may end on different dates for each company.
In
2006, the top ten of the Fortune 500 list are:
-
Exxon
Mobil
-
Wal-Mart

-
General
Motors
-

-
Ford

-
