For 2006, Exxon Mobil (XOM) earned $39.5 billion. That’s an astounding number.
To put that in perspective, the GDP of the United States for last year was $13.25 trillion. About 27% of XOM’s profits, or $10.8 billion, came from the U.S. So that means that one company makes up nearly 0.1% of the national economy.
