Top 5 Ways Amazon Makes Money

2. Amazon Web Services

Amazon Web Services is one of the biggest cloud computing companies in the entire world, and is actually the most profitable venture that Amazon has. In fact, it is safe to say that without Amazon Web Services, the company would still be struggling to make a healthy profit. Out of a total net income of approximately $11.6 billion, $9.2 billion comes from AWS alone, which is incredible considering the fact that it only accounts for $35 billion in revenue out of a total revenue of $280 billion in 2019. This is despite strong competition from Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) and Microsoft.
