"Top 5 Companies in the World" is a common name of Chinese people for the annual list of "Top 5 Companies in the World" selected by American Fortune magazine.
In p>1929, Henry Luce, an American, founded Fortune magazine under the background of economic depression. He believed that business culture was the core of a society, and he hoped to draw the future hope for the depressed economy with the help of Fortune magazine. Fortune magazine has attracted many people's attention because it ranks "the top 5 companies in the world" every year, and China people are used to calling them "the top 5 companies in the world".
Fortune magazine also selected "the top 5 companies in the United States" (also known as "Fortune 5"), the most admired companies in the United States and the world, the list of young rich people in the United States, and the 25 most powerful entrepreneurs in the global business world. At the same time, Fortune also held the Fortune Global Forum, which has been held for three times in China, Shanghai, Hongkong and Beijing.
Since 1995, the Fortune Global Forum has been held for nine times every two years, in Singapore, Budapest, Bangkok, Paris, Washington, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Beijing.

compared with Forbes and Businessweek, which also publish company rankings, Fortune 5 companies rank on the basis of sales revenue and pay more attention to enterprise scale. Business Week, on the other hand, takes market value as the main basis; Forbes comprehensively considers annual sales, profits, total assets and market value. In addition, the Forbes Top 5 ranking does not include American companies. Businessweek's ranking is limited to developed countries, while Fortune ranks enterprises from all over the world.
in p>25, there were 18 enterprises in Greater China, including 15 in Chinese mainland, 2 in Taiwan Province and 1 in Hongkong.
