Who's The Highest-Paid Blogger In The World?
Part of the terms of the sale of Gothamist to the Cablevision-owned Rainbow Media say that cofounders Jake Dobkin and Jen Chung have to stick around for another three years.
Nick Denton did the math: if the sale really did go for a reported $5 million, then after tax, split between the two co-founders and divided out over ten years (since the Dobkin and Chung have worked at the blog for seven years so far), their annual salaries are “only” $150,000 each.
Even if that were the case, argues Salmon (he thinks they’re getting much more than that), that would make Chung the highest-paid blogger on the payroll of any media company in the world.
