(65,212 posts)That's a million bucks more than his crappy little company is worth.
Given the pay at the company is so rotten, nobody working there will care who owns the company.
dsc
(52,166 posts)but just how many pillows could he be selling? Assume Five dollar profit per pillow, is he selling like a million a year?

(5,113 posts)they sell for 30-40 each and probably cost a couple bucks to make
dsc
(52,166 posts)they cost fifty bucks, sweet Jesus.
ProfessorGAC
(65,212 posts)Not sure, though.
But, they sell them at Bed, Bath & Beyond and they aren't $50.
dsc
(52,166 posts)I generally pay around 15 or so at most for a pillow.
ProfessorGAC
(65,212 posts)Paid $90 for it. But that was 15 or 16 years ago. It's a high quality memory foam and after all that time, it's still like the day I bought it.
I know ninety bucks is a lot, but if I get 25 years out of it, I think it's ok.
dsc
(52,166 posts)I buy them fairly often to be fair.

(65,212 posts)...the company value is $150 million with $141 million in revenues. Net income before taxes was around $9 million.
BTW, the estimated debt to equity is 4.8. So, a lot of revenue is consumed by interest payments. Probably $4.5-5 million a year.
They also have 1,500 employees. For a $141,000,000 revenue company. That's $94k per employee in revenues. The company from which I retired had revenue per employee of nearly $1.65 million.
Last point: If that company actually has total compensation cost of 30% of revenues (0.7% above the median for manufacturing sector), that would be $42.3 million for compensation. For 1,500 people! That's $28,200 per person!
Taking an extreme that the compensation is 40% of revenues, it still means the average total compensation is $37,600 per person!
It's a shabby little outfit, the product is junk (high line sheets are 400 count?), and the employees are poorly paid.
He's a charlatan.

ProfessorGAC
(65,212 posts)But, I was thinking that it would advertise that this guy is not the business titan he pretends to be.

Then I researched him. And found out what a truly scumbag he was....

(67,819 posts)Watch the Prevagen commercials. At least two of the male spokesmodels have them, worn obviously, sticking out of their shirt collars in a way to try to look casual but is clearly intentional.
For me, that display makes buying the product being hawked a real non-starter.

(16,616 posts)Allegedly, Lindell is worth $300 Million.
It's very odd to have one's net worth listed on Wikipedia (in my experience, at least).
Net worth US$300 million (2018)[1]
Political party Republican
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Lindell
ProfessorGAC
(65,212 posts)The whole company is worth $150 million with around $124 million in debt.
Net income before taxes is around $9 million. They only incorporated in the middle of 2009.
I do not believe the net worth is $300 million.
This guy is pulling the same "fake rich guy" scamp T+@ pulled.

(14,838 posts)Whatever you want people to think you are worth, double it and sue anyone who says otherwise.
ProfessorGAC
(65,212 posts)Both those guys came closer to octupling it.

ProfessorGAC
(65,212 posts)And equity is only around $26 million.
He's a fraud from the PINO mold.

(7,403 posts)He likely has MP set up as an LLC so little of his personal wealth is in personal accounts that can be attached.

(2,577 posts)I keep thinking that being sued by Dominion should be the least of his problems. Shouldn't the feds be coming after him for his speeches about the Big Lie and taking the country back for happy white supremacists? (Inquiring minds and all that)

(19,204 posts)That criminal asshat certainly deserves it. Knowing him, he'd want to pay any law suit off with his stupid pillows, like Nathan Arizona in the movie 'Raising Arizona'.
