[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8301443, member: 2629"] I believe your sub numbers are [URL='https://twitchtracker.com/criticalrole/subscribers']under by a bit.[/URL] Further, they're likely getting more than the typical 50%. Even at 50%, their 45+K subs is about $115K per month. The estimates Youtube (alone) revenue numbers are another $25K estimated per month. Beyond that, they sell [I]considerable[/I] merchandise, and likely are getting a decent penny off of things like the Wildemount book and minis. They have a cast and crew who have other jobs as well, but I think they're seeing their profits increase on a regular basis. I would be surprised if the cast are not averaging $100K from Critical Role in 2021, and would not be shocked if it was double, triple or more than that. And that is with a lot of other people in their cast collecting reasonable paychecks. We've seen parts of their homes from the 'from home' shows they did over the past year. They're doing well. However, the cash cow has to be the Legend of Vox Machina. The majority of the amount raised offset production costs, so there is going to be a [I]huge[/I] profit margin for that show if it hits big, and I expect it will. The amount they raised allowed them to make the show without giving up equity. In essence, that money was free money that goes to production and removes downstream profit participation by others leaving more revenue for them. If it hits huge, it would quickly massively change their lifestyles. All of them spend a lot of time working on the show in different ways. And in terms of their success in their non-CR careers - they're all quite accomplished and well paid for their recognizable names and voices. Laura has won 3 BAFTA game awards, for example. They can all choose when and where to work these days, rather than begging for jobs. [/QUOTE]
