Not quite a league of their own but a short list of companies for sure - Microsoft posted revenue of $43B this quarter (not as high as Apples $110B Q) but with a 32% net profit margin.
Facebook's margin is even better, 46% on Q4 revenue of $28B.
Of course Microsoft's income is more diversified while FB's revenue is almost entirely ads (other revenue was $885M, mostly from Oculus Quest 2).
This is how they can afford to pay engineers virtually whatever it takes.
