As of 2025, People has approximately 2.2 million paid subscribers across print and digital editions, making it one of the largest magazine audiences in the United States. People had $997 million in advertising revenue in 2011, the highest advertising revenue of any American magazine. In 2006, it had a circulation of 3.75 million and revenue expected to top $1.5 billion. It was named "Magazine of the Year" by Advertising Age in October 2005, for excellence in editorial, circulation, and advertising.
