Exxon Mobil

, the world’s largest publicly traded oil company, said Friday that its fourth-quarter income fell

33 percent as oil prices declined.

But in a year where oil rose to a record before having its steepest-ever collapse,

Exxon still managed to set a

record as the most-profitable American corporation. The company earned $45.2 billion in 2008, up from

$40.6 billion in 2007.
