I disagree that profit is the right metric when scaling a fine to a normal person; $60k is the average American's revenue (not profit — I'm not even sure how I'd calculate profit for a human, in a year), so I use the corresponding amount — revenue — when comparing.

For example, a $10 fine to a company w/ a net loss but $1B in revenue is clearly not a large fine.

Profit is what the company has for the shareholders to spend by themselves. For workers, the equivalent is the salary.
