Just to substantiate this claim - here's a wikipedia table with the numbers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_corporate_profi...

Has there really been 0% inflation since 2011? That part of the chart seems pretty iffy.

Cumulative inflation over that time has been 5.2%.

Given that inflation number the difference is still vast, with almost a billion dollars more for Apple.

I find it amusing that all of the other entries are oil companies.
