Largest corporate annual earnings of all time
This list has all global annual earnings of all time, limited to earnings of more than $40 billion in "real" (i.e. CPI adjusted) value. Note that some record earning may be caused by nonrecurring revenue, like Vodafone in 2014 (disposal of its interest in Verizon Wireless)[1] or Fannie Mae in 2013 (benefit for federal income taxes).[2]
