Ranking The Highest-Earning Companies In The World

Big Revenue

What company brings in the most consolidated revenue in the world (and no, it isn't Amazon, Apple, or Google)? How many of the 50 largest revenue companies are American? We think the answer to both questions might surprise some people.

Note: While we will be ranking them based on revenue—we will also be indicating, among other things, each company's net profit. Spoiler Alert: The company with the highest revenue isn't the one with the highest profit.
