WorldVentures received its ranking based on growth of 167%in the past three years.

The list represents the most comprehensive look at one of the most important segments of the economy—America’s independent entrepreneurs. Companies such as Yelp, Pandora, Timberland, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, LinkedIn, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 500|5000.

“To be recognized for our significant growth alongside such highly respected companiesis very humbling,” WorldVentures Co-Founder and Chief Visionary Officer Wayne Nugent said. “This is proof of the hard work of our corporate staff and Independent Representatives. We look forward to more expansion as we continue to provide opportunities for financial freedom, fun life experiences and personal development.”

The 2014 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com, is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 516%. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $211 billion, generating 505,000 jobs over the past three years. Complete results of the Inc. 5000can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.

“What surprises me (even though I know it’s coming), is the sheer variety of the paths our entrepreneurs take to success, thematically reflecting how our economy has evolved,” Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg said. “This year there are far more social media and far fewer computer hardware businesses than there were, say, six years ago. But what doesn’t change is the fearsome creativity unleashed by American entrepreneurship.”
