Let's be generous and say it's true. And let's assume they're all donkeys who paid around 80 dollars for an annual subscription. That's around $1.4 million/year gross. Not familiar with US income tax brackets but let's assume he pays 40%. Now we're looking at around 850 k net. Keith gets, what? 150 k? Nana has Nassau county property taxes, 2 mortgages, a useless brother who expects 5 figures per annum because tree house pinky swear, and a crippling alcohol problem to feed. He's fucked...
He probably did have those numbers at one point when they were trying to get Opie on board. Around the time he had Gavin and LOS. The number is most definitely half that now.
CM would only be paying income tax if it were making a profit.
In the US, corporations (CM is a limited liability corporation) only pay income tax on net profits after expense. If CM is operating on a thin profit (or more likely, losing money), it would be paying little to no taxes at all.
Same here. I would have guessed 5k. 18k would put him at around $160k in revenue per month. That’s definitely more than his expenses since he took the approach of hiring cheap shitty talent rather than investing in costly legitimate talent (the kind that would grow a network). Hate to say it, but he’s not losing money if he really has 18k subs.
It's definitely closer to the truth than the description on Ant's book, which claims he has 100,000 subscribers.
I don't know if the 100k figure is something the publishers pulled out of their ass to impress to potential readers, or if Anthony really believes that many people pay to hear him, but it's either a blatant lie or a sign that Ant's losing his mind.
I hate to say it, but if he's got that many donkeys on the hook for more than eighty bucks a year he's grossing 1.5 million. If it weren't for the Artie fuckup he'd be grossing more than a million a year for years while paying nobodies no money at all. I don't see how he could be losing money at that subscriber number.
Taxes, mortgage payments, parasitic family and other dependents, alcoholism. He's not exactly going to end up sleeping under a bridge but his recent "economy" visit to Atlantic City and more frequent threats to up sticks and move out of NY, suggest that not exactly flush at the moment.
Well, I didn't say he was using the profit wisely. He's throwing it away like a chimpanzee. But it appears as though it would be impossible for Anthony to not be making money on grossing more than a million a year. Is it a lot of money? SXM money? Get comped at the casino because you routinely throw twenty grand away money? Nah. Iss money, iss money, though.
It's a fuck ton more than Opies average of 12 viewers per pop-up show. Fuck him for making me defend ant but seriously the delusion is ridiculous in all of them.

After over 4 fucking years, 18K is a pretty dismal number.

BOTH of his siblings get an allowance. That's one of the nuggets Danny gave us before he completely went off the deep end.

That's more than I expected.

The numbers were meant to impress Opie, they're probably bumped up a bit.
