Well as the title suggests, MGA Entertainment (there is a thread with a video about the company somewhere on the site, they make the Bratz dolls), was founded by Isaac Larian; I read that as of 2006, the company had $2 billion in revenue. It has 1,000 employees. It says on Wikipedia that Larian is a billionaire, the reason I ask is I did not see him listed on Forbes's list of billionaires, so is that a mistake (he is not a billionaire?), or did Forbes just miss him...? I also ask because it seems some confuse being a billionaire with owning a billion (or multibillion) dollar company. So even though MGA had revenues of $2 billion alone in 2006, would that have been enough to make Larian himself a billionaire?
I figure if on average the 1000 employees are paid $50,000 a piece, that would be around $50 million needed to pay for them, and if on average $100,000 is paid, that would be about $100 million (though I doubt it's that much when averaged) but I have no idea what would be needed to pay for manufacturing the toys themselves. If altogether it was under $1 billion, then I could see Larian keeping the other billion for himself.
Anyone know anymore?
