The answer to my question was easy to find using the link.
61% of their 2000 revenue ($ 80,316,000,000 total revenue) came from tabacco. Yes, that's over $ 80 billion; it is not a typo. And it was a 3.2% increase over the previous year. The total from Phillip Morris tabacco in 2000 was thus $ 48,992,760,000.

That makes me sorry for smokers. It's sad enough that they're making themselves ill to support their addiction. Apparently they're impoverishing themselves too. Sigh.
