Into some rich asshole’s pocket you dumb motherfucker. The CEO’s multi-million dollar paychecks, helicopters, giant offices, and all of the money that they spend on “research and development” is merely an investment that will pay off big money for them in the future. There are two numbers that you have to look at. Net AND Gross. Their “paper profit” was _only_ 11 billion, but their Gross income was 138 Billion. If I take all of the money OC Pool Management makes and use it to buy a brand new $50,000 pickup, a big ass office, and pay myself $100,000 a year as the CEO, and the company only show a $1 profit, are you gonna call me up and offer me a place to stay since my company only made $1 of profit in a whole year!?!?!?! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/exxonmobile-post-highest-quarterly-profit-ever/198820)._
