Most people with actual income that high keep that information private. On the other hand, most people who tell others (who don't need to know) that they earn that much, actually don't. There are few exceptions. I'm not joking.
And that makes the answer to the topical question of this thread quite elusive.
Very true and insightful. I make well over a million a year and I'm no exception.

If every kitebrand owner would have made over 1M$ per year then yes, it would have been my business because it means that prices can go down.

no skin, it's almost the opposite.
Think about it a little harder.

If I had a nickle for every time I wondered this very question, I would have a nickle...

I hope there are many people making that much money in this sport!
It is a good thing to make money with your passion.
And if they make it I am sure they worked for it and earn it !

Probably the only one making that kind of money is Toby. Airstyle alone must have brought in a couple mil! And this site will soon be bought out by some large company for billions.

Son of a bitch...you're right! That one was staring us right in the face...he probably clears a half mil a year on hand modeling alone, then add on all the ad revenue from this site on top of it.
