The relevance to the biz depends on where that revenue was going. Suppose that $100M/year had been going into Craig Newmark's bank account and he had been contributing that money to charity on a regular basis.

Craigslist is believed to be owned by a couple of people plus EBay's 25%, so the above scenario is possible.
