This list includes the largest companies in the United States by revenue as of 2024, according to the Fortune 500 and Forbes rankings. Additionally, there is a separate list provided by Global Database, a UK-based B2B data provider offering extensive and up-to-date global company information.
The Fortune 500 list of companies includes only publicly traded companies, also including tax inversion companies. There are also corporations having foundation in the United States, such as corporate headquarters, operational headquarters and independent subsidiaries. The list excludes large privately held companies such as Cargill and Koch Industries whose financial data is not necessarily available to the public. However, this list does include several government-sponsored enterprises that were created by acts of Congress and later became publicly traded.
