Hebrew translation:פורצ'ן 100
Explanation:
Fortune 100 goes together here. Fortune is a financial periodical relied on by many business people worldwide. 100 refers to the periodical's list of the world's top 100 companies (I think there is also Fortune 500, with an analogous meaning). Your sentence talks about those top 100 companies as listed by Fortune magazine.

Explanation:
כך קבעו באחרונה במגזין הכלכלי "פורצ'ן",
Transliteration of Fortune into Hebrew is פורצ'ן and it is prefixed in Hebrew by various expressions such as: ktav et, Magazine, or nil (nothing). I have chosen the wording formulation as appeared in Ha'aretz, daily newspaper, which named it as above: "HaMagazin HaKalkali Forch'n" because Ha'aretz has the most "comme il faut" orientation and its editors would probably devote much time and consideration to such terminologies .....

To Eynat
He knows that it is Fortune 100 because he put his query on the Tapuz Forum and on the Nana Forum and he knows that it is the fortune 100 list. Because he had been told. And I answered him for the points but he had already been answered.

disagree  Eynat: This does not explain the relevance of '100', meandering instead across irrelevant terrain.
