Crystal meth dealer “Nick” made $813,600 tax-free profit every year, working only 15 hours a week; of the drug company Pfizer’s $48.4 billion annual revenue, 60% is profit; the Yorkville Common Pantry soup kitchen serves 4800 meals every month, making no profit but spending 37% of its budget on rent and utilities; and the Babeville sexshop makes an 88% markup on slimline vibrators but only 67% on dildos. “The Profit Calculator” takes a fascinating look at the revenue and breakdown of earning in New York, from clothes shops to baseball teams and cab drivers to museums.
