Well, Yuri claims to sell a photo every 8 seconds.

Theres 86,400 seconds in a day - so he sells 10,800 photos each day x 365 days = 3,942,000 sales per year.

Say his RPI is $1.5 (did I imagine that, or did someone say it above?) = $5,913,0000/year

50 employees x $50K (big guess here, isn't cost of living quite high in Denmark) = $250K salaries, likely more.

I'd say he's doing pretty well Wink

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpK5IXhKr_A" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpK5IXhKr_A</a>

The video says he sells 4,400,000 licenses a year. I don't know what his average $/download would be.. but probably somewhere between $1.00-$2.00 given Shutterstock is probably a large percentage of those sales (less than $1.00).

50 employees x $50K is $2,500,000 (you missed a 0

)

but I doubt all those employees are full time and I really doubt they are all in Denmark. He works a lot in South Africa and also has people working in India... Meaning I doubt all his 'employees' get 50K/year.. but would bet that his Danish employees cost him more than $50k/year

I for one would be satisfied with earning 2,3k/month...

Wait until you get there, then you'll want more. Or you can get all weird like me and realize that everyone is ripping you off. Grin

I'm not saying I wouldn't like more, probably more as an achievement (and knowing I'm competent enough to do even better), than earning money from that point on, but I would be more than satisfied earning that and there's no chance on earth I'd be disappointed hitting the plateau at that point.
