Someone Please Explain How Glenn Beck Does It

He's a bit of a visionary. Think Howard Stern with a consevative moralist bent.

Even if you think he's crazy (and he is certainly round the bend on plenty of things), his ability to spot trends and predict things, both politically and business wise, is impressive.

How much of that was from his network? (I should probably read the link.)

Eta: owning the distribution of your product will make you some serious coin if you can sell it. Judge Judy's earnings are (were?) ridiculous.

They don't break out that detail in the article, but it can't be all from his network. In fact, it looks like the large majority probably isn't. This article says the Blaze was doing about $40mm in revenue in 2013 and his broader media empire was doing about $80mm.

So where did all the rest of his earnings come from? Assume his entire empire has a 20% profit margin and that he's a 100% owner of all of it (both unlikely assumptions), that would still only get him to $16mm in personal income.

Unless the article is considering the media revenue as his own personal "earnings?"

I can't find up to date revenue estimates for the Blaze. So that's all I think that could have changed. I do think your profit margins are low. They were making pretty high profit margins when they were an Internet only show, IIRC.

I'd guess you're right.
