There are a lot of industries in the world that have held the world to ransom not in a bad way but in a way of obsession where people can’t do without them, these industries includes, petroleum and energy, technology, finance, automobile, fashion and many more. These industries like we should expect brings in a lot of profit and these profits are outstanding but amid this, there are a few companies that will make more money than we see from the outside. These companies spend little on investment and rake in a lot of money.
Pharmaceutical Companies
This is one industry that the world cannot do about, yet everyone complains about them. The Big Pharma is believed to be the brain behind several medical controversy and conspiracy theory so they can make huge money. Everyone needs medications from the rich to the poor, young and old, and when something is a necessity, it becomes sought for at all means. Most pharmaceutical companies make a lot of profit as in most cases, the companies do not spend money on research as the government assist with funds for research. To further explain how pharma companies generate revenue, they sell medications for almost 3 times the amount produced in so many cases. They sell drugs that cost pennies or in so many cases free to produce at a very exuberant price, and we will buy them since we all want to live. Although prices of medications differ from country to country, the fact remains that at all prices, pharmaceutical companies are making a whole lot of money.
Tobacco
In the world, the tobacco industry has proven to be one of the most profitable industries, amid the warning which is boldly written on cigarette cartons that smokers are liable to die young, people still buy cigarette in large quantity making it very profitable for the company. The Tobacco industry is a trillion-dollar industry as people just keep smoking as it is a product that is addictive, and people request for new ones since it is a finished product. The interesting thing about the revenue made in the tobacco industry is that no matter the price of a cigarette, once people are addicted to it, it becomes very difficult to let go, so people would pay any amount to satisfy their urges for it. I have a friend who can spend his entire fortune to get a stick of cigar, he does not care the price it is being sold at when he wants it badly.
