I would like to add that the numbers you quoted about people making money in SL don&#39;t include content development area, as these people are paid outside of the SL world. There are 60 companies who do builds in SL for real life clients. They are the companies that have brought SL builds from Adidas, MLB, Microsoft, Intel, Wired Magazine, Reuters, ect. A basic Island will cost a RL company $50,000 USD to build.
