Revenue is not profit. You need to subtract expenses and whatnot.

That’s right. But for GDPR no one cares about profits. They need to be fined on revenue.

Otherwise non-profit making companies could do any privacy BS and not be fined.

They need to be fined based on gross annual worldwide revenue or market cap, whichever is greater.
