I don't think it says profit anywhere? It says 2022 revenue in the legend for the companies, and the annual personal salary is revenue too because it needs to be spent on living expenses.

Conflating "to make money" with "revenue" instead of profit is the iffy part for me... I apologize for not being clear about that.

At the risk of entering pedant territory, the idea of "making" the money is by doing something that would cause a person to pay more than before. If acquiring the "before" and the act of adding value incur costs, then to me, the "money made" is the revenue less those costs.
