Company of the year: Chevron Corp.

The Bay Area is home to many mighty corporate titans whose annual sales and profits stretch into the billions.

And none of them made half of what Chevron Corp. made last year. Literally.

With oil and gasoline prices stuck at their highest levels in decades, San Ramon’s Chevron brought in $210.1 billion in revenue in 2006. That far outpaced Hewlett-Packard, which came in second with $94.1 billion.
