Fortune 500: Which Virginia Companies Make The List In 2019

Fortune Magazine has released its annual list of the 500 top companies in America, which represent two-thirds of the U.S. GDP and have a total of $13.7 trillion in revenue, the magazine says. Of those 500 companies, 21 are based in Virginia.

Fortune explains that it ranks companies by total revenue and Walmart topped the 2019 list, followed by Exxon Mobil and Apple. Berkshire Hathaway and Amazon ranked No.4 and No.5, rounding out the top five spots on the list.

To put the list in context, Fortune writes that just a tenth of the companies on the list are responsible for nearly half of the total $13.7 trillion in revenue. (You can read more in detail about the list via Fortune here.)
