How do you know? Tens of thousands a month sounds like a lot, but if you have staff salaries and high equipment, model/actor and location costs to pay, you’re not making all that much yourself. People who live in expensive areas like New York and make 20K per month are just managing to pay their sky high rents or mortgages and property taxes.

because I know few of them that are in the same category like he is. It is of course their private matter and I don't feel like making it public. I just wanted to point out to you that your estimate is far far away.

"What I find sad about the article is that he lost income, then ramped up production in order to regain his earnings...how long is that sustainable?
