Top 10 by what metric? By market cap the top 10 companies are [1]:

1. Apple

2. Microsoft

3. Amazon

4. Alphabet

5. Facebook

6. Tencent

7. Tesla

8. Berkshire Hathaway

9. TSMC

10. Alibaba

With the exception of Berkshire Hathaway, these are all tech companies. And a fair chunk of Berkshire Hathaway's market cap is Apple stock [2].

Going off the Fortune 500 earnings listing. Market cap is an indication of valuation, not an indication of how much business a company actually does.
