Fortune magasin offentliggjorde dens 2018 fortune 500 placeringer?
Den oprindelige Fortune 500-liste var begrænset til virksomheder, hvis indtægter stammede fra produktion, minedrift og energiudvinding.  Samtidig udgav Fortune supplerende "Fortune 50"-lister over de 50 største forretningsbanker (rangeret efter aktiver), forsyningsselskaber (rangeret efter aktiver), livsforsikringsselskaber (rangeret efter aktiver), detailhandlere (rangeret efter bruttoindtægter) og transportvirksomheder (rangeret efter indtægter). Fortune Magazine ændrede sin metodologi i 1994 for at medtage servicevirksomheder.  Med ændringen kom 291 nye virksomheder ind på den berømte liste, herunder tre i top 10.
The original Fortune 500 was limited to companies whose revenues were derived from manufacturing, mining, and energy exploration.  At the same time, Fortune published companion "Fortune 50" lists of the 50 largest commercial banks (ranked by assets), utilities (ranked by assets), life insurance companies (ranked by assets), retailers (ranked by gross revenues) and transportation companies (ranked by revenues). Fortune magazine changed its methodology in 1994 to include service companies.  With the change came 291 new entrants to the famous list including three in the Top 10.
