Facebook probably makes nothing, because it's a FREE site.

around 100 bucks becuz of the advertisements u view

I think it makes about 360 Million every year using the facebook ad engine, but you need users to make profit. For instance, last year, google payed myspace 900 mil. to display there adwords advertisments on the site all year, roughly 2.5 mil. a day, plus the special promos on the front screen for new movies, or celebrities, or whatever. It is strictly pay per view because it has so many users (the worlds largest social network)

Pay per view vs Pay per click ads:
