Dig into these details a bit deeper, and you'll see the average revenue of these 25 developers (by my math) is $4.38m/year. But of course, the developers don't get the full $4.38m, apple get's a 30% cut, leaving the developers with $3 million in revenue.

How many of these top 25 developers can operate on $3 million per year?

Of course, their is likely another significant difference between the #1 developer and #25, so I wouldn't be surprised to see #25 developer making < $1m while #1 makes $15m+.

All of this is of course assuming that the first 20 days of November are consistent with sales for the rest of the year.



Hmm. That's not how my math works out.

$60 million divided by 20, times 365, divided by 25 equals $43.8 million.

Times 0.7, that results in $30.66 million in revenue per one of the 25 developers (average).


Oh you're right, sorry about that. Funny how a factor of 10 makes things so much better... Or worse.


I think your math is missing a 0. Correct me if I'm wrong...

60/25 = 2.4 mil / 20 days 365/20 = 18.25 18.25*2.4 = 43.8 mil/year
