Forbes 500

Forbes 500 is a list made by Forbes magazine showing which big companies had the most money made in one year. Kind of like a game on who can earn the most. All the companies on the list are very very big, like grown-up versions of your favorite toy store. There are a lot of them, but only the top 500 make the list. So if you're a big company and you're not on the Forbes 500, it means another company made more money than you last year. The Forbes 500 list helps people see which companies are doing really well and shows us how much money some companies can make.
