ishepp Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Show your calculations please. No idea how you came up with this. $800mil divided by $60 per year for members means there would be 13.3mil members. I don't think so, something gone wrong with your maths here. Have you considered the company running costs as well? I'm sure they wouldnt make $800mil per year. Maybe I'm wrong, but you should tell us where you got this figure. 89/99 farming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock Hard Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I was talking with my father the other day, and he said he had looked Jagex up and found out that Paul and Andrew Gower are among the four richest people in England below the age of 20. :shock: I have no picture, no link, no proof and no calculations. If that's a problem, i don't really care. -Gid.

ishepp Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 5x200k 200k x 12 = u know stuff and wat not that makes $12m. What about the other $788m Also, thread titles like yours are not particularly helpful. Please try and have a title relavent to thread content. I was talking with my father the other day, and he said he had looked Jagex up and found out that Paul and Andrew Gower are among the four richest people in England below the age of 20. I'm pretty sure they are over the age of 20, unless they made the game in their early teens. 89/99 farming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock Hard Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Ah, with that link in mind, perhaps it was under the age of 30. :oops: -Gid.

wolfboy Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 5mil per year USD is still very impressive, but I wonder how much of that is true profit after expenses?
