How do low cost airlines, example being Ryanair, make such high profits yet sell flights for so cheap?

I fly around Europe for €30-€100 per return flight without a checked bag. Yet Ryanair are one of the most profitable airlines in the world yet charging such cheap prices. Are other airlines just not as efficient as low cost airlines?

You are a handful that fly with a backpack.
I am also flying low cost, and just bought 2 tickets.
150 bucks round trip x2
But …
A flex ticket, add 50 bucks each, one additional 10 kg suitcase round trip 170 bucks (after all, the wifey must ).
That’s already double the price of the tickets.
Now…if you want designated seats, nothing special but just to sit together 30 bucks per person each leg, thats another 120 bucks, auto check in and other BS 80 bucks.
Want a soft drink on board? Another 4-5 bucks.
So you ask hiw they make money?!?!
