$20k/month is $240k/year, which is some serious money. Forgive me if I'm a little skeptical of these numbers.

  Hold on, are we talking employee or contractor? If it's the latter, I'd consider at least the following two points: 1. $20k/month every month? Unlikely. 2. Self-employment taxes + other business expenses. edit: formatting

    Does it matter for the context of my post? $240k is a hefty income either way for a freelancer who needn't live in an expensive metropolitan area. And it seems you agree with me either way with the way you ended your first bullet point. A lot of startups in the sharing economy space have been guilty of grossly exaggerating how much their contractors/employees actually make. Is this just yet another instance of that or are these numbers legitimate? I think that's a perfectly reasonable question to ask.

      Sorry if I wasn't clear... I do agree with you - if anything I'm more skeptical :)
