Enbridge recently announced plans to increase its dividend 10% next year and said it would give similar increases in 2019 and 2020. That continues the Canadian oil pipeline giant's generosity to investors over the years. With 2018's raise, it has now grown its dividend 23 straight years, which puts it just two years shy of becoming a dividend aristocrat. What's even more impressive is that Enbridge hasn't just been giving investors token raises to keep that streak alive but has increased its payout by an impressive 11.2% compound annual rate over the past two decades. That dividend growth has helped fuel a total return of more than 1,230% over the past 20 years, which has annihilated the S&P 500 's 307% total return over that same period.
