... revenue is absolutely meaningless in this conversation. You should be looking at profit. It doesn&#x27;t matter what Marriott <i>charges</i>, it matters what they <i>make</i>, and saying they &quot;made &gt; $12 billion&quot; is totally false: they made at the high end something like $2 billion (which is still high enough that you could have used those numbers as an honest ratio instead of distorting the discussion by looking at revenue).
