This does NOT include the massively rich Islamists in the Oil industry.

This is from 2017 (I'm sure the salaries have increased a lot).

December 2021

Exclusive: oil companies’ profits soared to $174bn this year as US gas prices rose​

Exxon, Chevron, Shell and BP among group of 24 who resisted calls to increase production but doled out shareholder dividends

The largest oil and gas companies made a combined $174bn in profits in the first nine months of the year as gasoline prices climbed in the US, according to a new report.

The bumper profit totals, provided exclusively to the Guardian, show that in the third quarter of 2021 alone, 24 top oil and gas companies made more than $74bn in net income. From January to September, the net income of the group, which includes Exxon, Chevron, Shell and BP, was $174bn.

Exxon alone posted a net income of $6.75bn in the third quarter, its highest profit since 2017, and has seen its revenue jump by 60% on the same period last year. The company credited the rising cost of oil for bolstering these profits, as did BP, which made $3.3bn in third-quarter profit. “Rising commodity prices certainly helped,” Bernard Looney, chief executive of BP, told investors at the latest earnings report.

The DNC needs to start talking windfall profits taxes again.... LMAO... Watch the oil companies crap their pants...
 
But less than they could. There is always room for growth. :)

Undeniably true.
I picture every board meeting a laugh riot where they watch clips of the right blaming Biden for singlehandedly crippling the oil industry and driving up prices (despite being demented) while they watch monthly, quarterly and yearly profit figures rolling on a second screen.
 
Yes, they put the whole thing in motion.

Supply and demand for one of the purest commodities there is.

But we need someone to blame.

Looks like Exxon was making a great deal more money under Obama than now.

This is a nothing burger.

Here's an idea for you. Get yourself all the abilities and experience it takes to run an oil company as well as any of those guys do, and then offer to do it for $15 per hour.

And?


Here is a chart of exxon profit margins:




Notice they are just recovering to historical Norms.

It would be if but for the fact republican lemmings such as yourself are constantly lying about Biden single handedly crippling the oil industry and single handedly driving gas prices thru the roof.
Give those lies a break and you are likely to have facts like these thrown in your face less often.

So I guess you can back up this slander about me then no?

Well first, defamation reduced to writing is libel, not slander. Slander is spoken.

If you are not amongst the crowd perpetuating the myth that Biden's policies have crippled the oil industry and is THE cause for the increase in oil prices, then my apology and I stand corrected.

Why? I've already built a successful business.

The DNC does not have the balls to do so. The DNC is far too conservative. We need moderates running
the show.

Those are large salaries but then they are private companies and they create profit for the share holders and the board decides he's worth it. Then again congressmen make $174,000, which is about 3X the average household income in America. Now are they really doing that good a job?
