The Fortune 500 is a ranking of the top 500 American public Corporation s as measured by Gross Revenue , although eligible companies are any for which revenues are publicly available (which is a larger universe than " Public Companies ", as the term is commonly understood, meaning "companies having common stock that trades on a Stock Exchange "). '' Fortune '' magazine compiles and publishes the list annually.

The Fortune 100 is a frequently used term used to reference the top 100 firms in this same list.

The Fortune 1000 refers to the top 1000 firms ranked according to the same methodology.
