When a corporation makes a profit, where does that money go?

My understanding of "profit" is what income is left over after all expenses are accounted for including all operational costs, legal/service fees, and paying every single employee, so who gets the profit?

Also, if corporations are legally people, why don't people post profits as well?

Some profits may go into the bank (or investments), to be used later.  

Some profits may go into expanding the business over the next fiscal period (thus going to pay for future expenses).

Some profits may go into repurchasing shares.

Some profits may go directly to shareholders as dividends.
