~$2000 for me and wife. EXP for me.
Another $2400 on Costco AA GCs as they were being closed out. Using those soon.

So we are already at about USD 430,000 already.
I know that it is a rather vague indicator but I'm curious as to how 'important' revenue-wise we are to AA as a group.

$4,500 to Gold, including two on BA metal (to DXB), and I've spent $1,000 so far this year.

Probably ~$90k. Mostly F to LHR and some domestic F. Would be higher but when AA only offers J, I take BA F.

Looks like around $10K for PLT. Most of that spend on INTL J. Mostly personal, some from my own company.
UA got $7500 from me last year, however, as I was status challenging to Premier Gold. Otherwise, I guess I would have been $17,500 with AA.

Around $85K on the low side to around $90k. I had mentioned this on another thread as my miles were at 97k for the year and I was still awarded Exp. I had planned to do a mileage run. But with that news I didn't have to. Thank goodness.

$9,465, EXP, all on my own/my business's dime.
I am also responsible for influencing 2MillJr to become an AA elite (3 years GLD, made PLT last year), though I don't often pay her travel expenses. I spent ~$750 on her travel in 2012; her father spent about $4,000.
Through my example, my ex-husband, who has a new job and now travels more, is now actively pursuing status with AA. I gifted him with GLD via BusinessExtrAA points mid-year last year to make his first few trips a tad more bearable, used more BusinessExtrAA points to upgrade him a couple of times, and upgraded him with an SWU twice. He's on his own from here on out, though. ;-D He spent about $6,000 on AA last year. He actually earned 25K EQPs last year, so is technically GLD in his own right now.
Finally, my mother and her husband, kettles if ever there were kettles, travel about once a year and I book their travel for them. Naturally, they fly AA when they do fly. They spent about $1,000 last year. I also booked travel for my daughter's boyfriend, who spent about $2,000, helped two of my clients arrange trips to the tune of about $2,000, and assisted a neighbor in planning an international trip for the family that cost about $4,500.
So all in all, I've helped funnel about $30K into AA's coffers. Not bad for a "low value" customer! ;-D
