Here's Maria's response to these accusations: http://www.scilogs.com/next_regeneration/internet-curator-ma...

In particular, she states, "Regarding his Tumblr article – first of all, those numbers are ludicrous! If Amazon gave me even a tenth of that a year after Uncle Sam takes his fair share, I’d be delighted. Delighted!"



That seems to imply that before taxes she is making at least $100k


Assuming literal honesty, "if 1/10 of that, i'd be thrilled!" does suggest that the actual figure is at least 1/20th of whatever "that" was (1.2m/yr?) (but could still be lower).


It really doesn't.


A rebuttal on revenue without reveal of the factual numbers is completely useless in my opinion.
