CEO: Rex W. Tillerson
Compare tool: Exxon Mobil vs. Top 10
The oil giant may not be the biggest company in the U.S., but it's by far the most profitable: Driven by higher prices for crude -- as well as big gains in its natural gas and chemicals businesses -- profits at Exxon Mobil topped $30 billion, a whopping 58% jump.

With its eye on growth, the company recently launched a massive joint venture in Qatar and an offshore well in eastern Russia. It also is making a big push into alternative energies, investing in biofuels and expanding operations designed to cut greenhouse gases. --P.N.
