Wow, that's a lot of cash. What are the top expenditures of Mozilla?

Nate that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Corporation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Corporation claims Mozilla has "1000+" employees; if that claim is true I would expect $200+ million just for salaries, benefits, payroll taxes, office space, etc (obviously depending on where the employees are located).
