You are probably aware that Valentine's Day is the holiday of love and showering your loved one with roses, candy/chocolate, stuffed teddy bears and all that. There are some companies who exist all year just for this one day according to Fox Business.

"The National Retail Federation estimates total spending this Valentine’s Day to exceed $20.7 billion, a 6 percent increase over last year’s $19.6 billion."

That is a hell of a lot of money!

Here are some companies that profit big time:

• Hershey Foods
• 1-800-Flowers
• Tiffany & Co
• Victoria Secrets
• Bath & Body Works

Pretty sure none of these surprise you! Think about it this way - Jewelry industry is expecting to make $3.9 Billion, Hallmark is expected to make $933 million, lingerie industry is expected to make $12.63 billion, candy industry is expecting to profit $1.8 billion, and so forth. A lot of money for just one holiday right?!
