Forbes 250: Celebrating The American Dream
New York, NY – July 1, 2025 – Today, Forbes announced a year-long campaign called 'Forbes 250: A Celebration of the American Dream,' which will honor visionaries, explore new ideas, and create lasting solutions that can help keep the American Dream alive for the next 250 years.
According to a recent Pew Research Study, Forbes is the news outlet that best symbolizes the ideologies of the average American. With its wide audience and credible journalism, Forbes will use its platform to roll out the six part 'Forbes 250' series to explore the path to the American Dream, a concept that unites, inspires and drives our nation.
Each part of the series will be tied to a different value or ideal of the American Dream including:
The initiative will come to life with six dedicated magazine issues, tentpole ForbesLive events, six signature editorial list launches that include the 250 people who are representative of each ideal, an advisory board and more. For each magazine issue, all six tenets will be woven throughout Forbes' print, video, social and website editorial content.
'Forbes has always stood for the American Dream, symbolizing success and spotlighting the doers and their doings,' said Randall Lane, Chief Content Officer and Editor, Forbes. 'As millions of Americans unite to celebrate the Fourth of July this year, we're announcing this new campaign which will recognize our nation of problem-solvers, mavericks and risk-takers, and celebrate the history of the United States as a place where hustle and reinvention and meritocracy rule.'
To reach Americans in every corner of the country, Forbes will partner with and serve as the official innovation and storytelling partner of America250, a multi-year national non-partisan initiative commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States, established by Congress. Forbes has also partnered with the Museum of the American Revolution. Across the year, Forbes will also be hosting an American Dream Film Festival, in partnership with Harbor Fund. More key partnerships will be announced shortly.
