What I would like to see is what % of the profits were generated in America. Being that ExxonMobil is a GLOBAL company, I bet the portion of profits from the US is not even close to a majority.

In the first nine months (through September) of 2005 (December figures aren't available yet), ExxonMobil had net income of $25.42 billion.

$8.071 billion was from the US. $17.56 billion came from outside of the United States, and $211 million was corporate overhead (CEO salary, headquarters stuff, public filing fees, etc).

In the past 12 months, through December, ExxonMobil made profit of $36.13 billion on sales of $340.26 billion, or 10.62%. Exxon makes a lot of money because it's pretty damned big.

So how did other companies fare? In the last twelve months, here's how:

Google: 23.87%
