Revenue is the money that comes in, ignoring expenses. Income is the money that comes in, ignoring expenses. They are exactly equivalent.

In the context of discussing a company's finances, income is usually short for net income, which is also known as earnings or profit, or revenue minus expenses.

In this case, they're comparing a company's revenue to a person's income, so "income" as applies to a company's finances is irrelevant.
