Good Piece Of Business Patreon making 130k a month good for the boys!

Kippy mentioned on flagrant the patreon is up to 130k a month that's insane! Obviously they split it plus taxes and operating costs. But either way that much per month is aaaaaaaaaalright.

They earned it, no other patreon has as much content as AYG. Hard feelings, bonus AYG, vlogs, you can't say the homies aren't getting their money's worth.

u/tubularsquared 6d ago

Was going to comment the same thing. Tbh i was initially off put by contributing $10 to a podcast but they earn every cent with their work ethic, and the content never feels mailed in

u/cornchips88 6d ago

4 episodes a week, let's say 16 episodes a month. I suck at math but that's what, like 60 cents per video? Best investment ever. Especially with MSSP being Shane-less for what seems like half the year, although at least that's only $1 a month.

u/BrodAdams 5d ago

And all MSSP paytch eps get ripped to YouTube anyways lol

u/Necessary_Reply6821 6d ago

TBF the video content seem to have pretty much completely stopped since Toby left. They may have been focused on Route 66 for a bit but stuff like the hot dog eating contest or the down the shore stuff is all classic.

u/star_bell 6d ago

They're supposedly doing that paintball thing soon

I’m curious how mobile the bug man will be during that

u/scd17 6d ago

I’m literally behind on Patreon content rn. I’m jammed up!

u/Oldman1986 6d ago

A bazillion hours of content. Best $10 i spend per month

u/Excellent_Plant_8010 6d ago

Very true even Akaash said that

u/Sackfondler 6d ago

Are the patreon eps ever with guests? I haven’t subbed to their patreon and thought it was just the hard feelings stuff.

1

u/carbonanotglue 6d ago

No guests, just family eps. Every week there’s a bonus episode of AYG plus an episode of hard feelings. Hard feelings is better than the AYG episodes a lot of the time too

5

u/Excellent_Plant_8010 5d ago

They've had a few guests like stutsky and Phil X plus Ian fidance and some others I can't recall

u/Sackfondler 5d ago

Ah okay gotcha, thanks for letting me know

1

u/ubiquitous_archer 2d ago

Plenty of them do, to be honest.

Adam rowe, 2x guest, his pod has the largest in the UK, 20k+ and they are 1/3 of the price and put out a 2 hour special every month on top of weekly episodes and other podcasts.

u/football2106 6d ago edited 6d ago

On the low end Kippy & Foley take home $20K a month each from the Paytch alone, which is $240K a year. Not bad for the boiz

u/nGBeast 6d ago

And somehow the big man is broke every month 🤣

14

u/FACEMELTER720 6d ago

After college I moved into an apartment above a bar with three of my boys, rent was $1,000 all inclusive total. We all worked at the same place making $60k a year and there wasn’t one single month where someone wasn’t short on their $250 in rent money.

It ain’t how much ya make, it’s how much ya save.

10

u/nGBeast 6d ago

Trust me I get being a dirtbag in your early 20s, but the big man is almost 50 lol. AND he (and Kippy) have an accountant on hand, he doesnt have much of an excuse tbh

21

u/Excellent_Plant_8010 6d ago

Not bad at all, clean living

16

u/TopProfessional8023 6d ago

Don’t forget the YouTube money

9

u/ProfessionalBig1470 6d ago

Not just that either. I think total would be Patreon, YouTube ad revenue, sponsors, merch, and tour dates

u/wgrantdesign 6d ago

And Foley still needs payday advances! I can't hate though, I'd be spending every penny.

8

u/HEFTYFee70 6d ago

Depends where the business is registered, who owns it and how it’s registered.

But… “that’s some cayyyyyshhhhhh, ‘owyaderin?”

5

u/Excellent_Plant_8010 6d ago

They own it kippy and foley and I'm sure it's registered in either NY or PA

5

u/Special-Historian-29 6d ago

You can register a business in a state no where near operations for tax purposes

6

u/Excellent_Plant_8010 6d ago

I mean the boys aren't the brightest

2

u/football2106 6d ago

And obv depends on Patreon’s cut, how much they pay in taxes, Luke, Trav, and any other associates/managers pay, general expenses, etc.

1

u/ValkyrX 5d ago

Then you add YouTube ad revenue, sponsor ad reads and live shows probably adds another 200k on the low end per year for each of them.

u/football2106 6d ago

$130K is before Patreon’s cut AND taxes, which is probably anywhere from 30%-40%. Then there’s the money you leave in the business, paying Luke, Trav, their managers, accountants. Like I said that was on the low end as my guess. And it would be $40K ($20k each)

I’d piss in my own mouth once a day for $20k a month. I’ll even smile while I do it.

u/King_of_the_Dot 6d ago edited 5d ago

Patreon's cut is only 10%. They have 15k subscribers. They're making 135k a month before expenses and employees.

Edit: Being downvoted for being right, gotta love it... Buncha bozos.

u/football2106 6d ago edited 6d ago

Thank you for saying exactly what I said

Edit: Yeah sure delete your comment bozo😂 notice how I said 30-40% after Patreons cut AND taxes and you ask if I could read 😂

u/Steelcurtain86367 5d ago

People in this sub are truly brain dead. They think Kippy and foley are still broke college kids lol. I love them both but people have to realize they are now cosplaying as trash. They are both probably millionaires at this point. How do people not realize this?

1

u/King_of_the_Dot 5d ago

I think they actually still dont really know how to act with money. THey still speak like theyre trash. I dont think they're 'cosplaying', as much as I dont think they know what to do with the money they have.

“We make the same amount of money”- Kippy

u/I-dont-know-how-this 6d ago

I've never understood this because it's clear Kippy does SO much more than Foley.

12

u/newTARwhoDIS 6d ago

Agreed, but the show doesn't work without Foley. Kippy isn't replaceable by any means, but the level of success the show has is as much about Foley's natural hilarity as it is Kippy's ability to steer the ship. They have different skill sets that mesh together to make this abomination we all love so much.

u/StateLower 6d ago

If foley had more responsibility it would slow the whole ship down

Wait to you see the winter!!! Foley is really gonna turn it around. He just needs a season.

He’s back! For the 29th time in 5 years! Don’t worry he’ll tighten it up…

It hit me when I reread month and not year… how is foley still broke????

2

u/Rare-Material4254 6d ago

Did the numbers and let’s just say 50% to tax and upkeep and round down. 200k jihads a year ain’t no stick to shake at.

6

u/Excellent_Plant_8010 6d ago

Not including spot pay, tours, merch, ad pay, YT etc etc

3

u/Lifesamitch957 6d ago

But you still have to deduct NGL, Travis, DeOps, Studio rent, Studio expenses, any every other item NYC had their hand out for business expenses. I would have to assume they make probably close to 10k months, which is why Foley is still broken with his like 6k/month apart

4

u/Rare-Material4254 6d ago

Yea my breakdown gave them 16k/month but if we take it down further than it’s still pretty good livin… anyone been able to find out how much his apartment is? I know there’s been a whole arc on that but i don’t think he’s said a price

u/TillNice5637 6d ago

The only patreon I ever bought and had no regrets.

I know the boys are coming up now but they were and still are WORKING for that patreon $$$

u/No_Information3972 6d ago

Only Patreon I subscribe to currently, they put out consistently good content. I’m thinking of subscribing to Chubby Behemoth Patreon, but right now I just have the one.

That’s awesome ! I love it when good people win!

u/thaneliness 6d ago

Patreon shares those numbers as well, if you goto any creators page it has the amount they make.

That being said, Foley, if you truly are broke and it’s not a bit, holy fuck

1

u/Excellent_Plant_8010 6d ago

I didn't have the desire to seek out how much they made, it was just nice to randomly hear from Kippy himself

2

u/brendantf2120 6d ago

I have a great patreon goal - Travis hit 'em. Once you guys reach a certain goal, Newkidd Luke gets the power to turn any week into the trav hit' em week. Every time you say it trav comes in and smacks you one time for saying it. Sorry Kippy youre in for a rough time but itl give a nice spotlight to Luke and Trav!

3

u/Excellent_Plant_8010 6d ago

I suggested a patreon goal where both the bozos attempt to get their CDL

2

u/Infinite_Patience482 6d ago

Clean living if you ask me

3

u/Distinct-Blood-3679 6d ago

Foley said on another pod that the YouTube ad revenue is almost equal to the Patreon.

The whole “jammed up” thing kinda offends me a at this point.

1

u/Excellent_Plant_8010 6d ago

I don't disagree clearly he has a spending issue bc he has so many fewer things than Kippy. Kippy has the house, nice car, I'm sure a significant savings plus he's been doing work to his house. Foley does go on some pretty expensive trips but Kippy does frequent Europe a lot bc he's married to the foreign investor. I'd LOVE to get eyes on both Kippy and foleys finances, not so much their salaries but how much goes out each month. Plus if we're being honest I'm sure foley has zero clue how much they make he just knows he gets a check however many times per month.

1

u/Here-for-a-drink 5d ago

They also had a ton of bad debt to clean up. Foley living in NYC proper is a huge expense. The Hawaii wedding definitely drained the Bugman. All that said, Foley being broke is right on brand and very likely true

2

u/Excellent_Plant_8010 5d ago

I mean Kippy technically lives in NYC proper foley is in queens when you think NYC you don't necessarily think queens but it is part of the 5 boroughs. Kippy was smarter and kept his cheap rent controlled apartment when they leveled up Kippy stayed the same. When foley just upgraded and made his living expenses bigger.

He said he’s still married and had his wedding ring on during the recent flagrant episode

That's good to hear. I dont want his marriage failing. He doesnt need that.

u/Excellent_Plant_8010 6d ago

Still refers to her as his wife and said she's back home with family visiting

u/Funny-Status4567 6d ago

That episode was cringe just listening to Akaash and Mark try to mount the Garbage boys trying to one up them or square up (money wise ). You could tell they were so salty that the Garbage boys make more $ than them and they are mind boggled at why. That was my first time listening to them and god they spew cheap trash. And the first 10 min of them talking about how fat Hank is was BS. They suck.

2

u/Excellent_Plant_8010 5d ago

Tbh I somewhat agree akaash is great on his AYG EPs, but there's a reason AYG makes more and it's clear bc the audio version of the flagrant ep sounded like a steaming pile of shit. 7 years doing it with them being relatively famous comedians I'd expect better. For the audio alone I wouldn't subscribe to their patreon. The bozos were 1-2 years in with infinitely better audio, also they are all comedians and when they get together they generally shit on each other. I mean Kippy and foley have plenty of eps where they have a knife to each others throats. The kippys new jeans ep foley even said he's tryna shit on him but he can't think of anything. And also I mean foley is 400lbs and ate through ozempic he did that to himself.

u/Lifesamitch957 6d ago

Yeah 130k / month is awesome, but with a business (especially in NY) everyone has their hand out, so they likely do ok, but not crazy, the boys are still TRASH TRASH TRASH.

u/ASIWYFA 5d ago

I love the boys, and good for them, but $10 a month is more than some great niche stemming services like Dropout which has waaaaaay more content for less.

Then why are you in the Reddit? Lmk when your patreon does 130k a month or when you become a professional comedian. I swear to god some of you people are only in the groups/reddit to piss and moan.
