Question

how do you read 500,000?
a part from reading five hundred thousand, of course

Answer

.. or half a million.. is the most suitable then..

Answer

I pledge my support for Mr Trowel: half a million! Still, I'm surprised that out of three responses, two are incorrect, so to clear things up...

- half a billion/a half-billion (the second example is an adjective) is 500,000,000
- "thousand" doesn't receive an "s".  You're not counting "thousand"; you're counting "five hundred thousand ______"  Five hundred thousand dollars, five hundred thousand widgets, five hundred thousand shoes, etc...

Answer

five hundred thousand

or

half a million

Answer
