Over $700k selling a premium mobile game
Despite getting very close to the best possible case for an iOS game (#1 on app store for a more than 0 days), am I the only one that is pretty dissapointed at how he was compensated? He didn&#x27;t actually make $700k -- after Apple took theirs, and the gov&#x27;t took theirs, he was left with ~$150K in his most successful year...<p>I guess the freedom to do nothing while your app just rakes in money is great, but it seems like the probability of hitting this case is very low, and a stable job (though he would have possibly not liked the monotony) would have made him much more money.<p>All this said, I&#x27;m about to strike out on my own with a one man LLC, so as others have said, this information is golden.<p>[EDIT] - Many have pointed out that I missed the ~$280K that he gave to his partner (the content creator) -- so in his most successful year, he stood to make (had he been truly solo) ~$430K, which actually is pretty substantial, for a one time effort... But what is the probability of someone&#x27;s iPhone game getting to #1 on the app store?
