Fortune magazine has published the Fortune 500 list, which lists the best public companies in the United States, as measured by gross receipts.
The Fortune 500 list might be the best known, but Fortune also publishes the Global 500, where it counts companies from around the world. Other lists, such as the Forbes Global 2000, list the largest public companies in the world.
According to Fortune, companies are ranked based on total revenue during their fiscal year. Only companies that are incorporated, operate in the United States, and file financial statements with a government agency are eligible.
