1. How many zeros are in "a shit ton?"

2. "earned $35.9 million"

How do you "earn" this kind of money, money that came from people paying at the pump?

Here's one way:
"The environmental and human rights lawyer Steven Donziger joins us just before he is ordered to report to jail today, after a years-long legal battle with the oil company Chevron and 813 days of house arrest. In 2011, Donziger won an $18 billion settlement against Chevron on behalf of 30,000 Indigenous people in Ecuador for dumping 16 billion gallons of oil into their ancestral land in the Amazon. Since the landmark case, Donziger has faced a series of legal attacks from Chevron and a New York federal judge, who has employed a private law firm linked to the oil company to prosecute him. "

Successfully buying politicians, influencing legislation, oppressing poor people and dissidents, churning out reams of greenwashing and propaganda. Nothing to get their hands dirty.

Most of the oiligarch corporations' increased profits derive from Russia's invasion of Ukraine and turmoil in energy markets. Capitalism loves chaos!
