According to the article: > Mozilla spends as much as it receives; its 2018 staffing bill was $286m with a headcount of about 1,000, or about $286,000 per person, on average.

Presumably there are large infrastructure fees for things like Firefox Sync, which by the way just introduced storage limits: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2020/07/09/changes-to-storage-sync-in-firefox-79/ https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2020/07/09/changes-to-storag...

The 2019 one will presumably be available once the audit (which starts on the tax filing deadline, so in July this year) is done. > But come on, how about saving some for rainy days? The 2018 financials show ~$520 million in net assets (assets minus liabilities) at the end of the year. The vast majority if this is in "cash" and "investments".
