Wikipedia makes hundreds of millions of dollars a year to run a site that is mostly text. Text put there by unpaid volunteers. Unpaid volunteers that repeatedly request the site stop asking for donations like they're broke. The executive salaries of the Wikimedia Foundation total $88 million a year.

However, there has been some controversy over the administration of the funds. While the Tides Foundation has promised to become a more transparent 501(c)(3) organization to reveal how it manages funds, details on expenses and salaries are still lacking seven years later. Additionally, the WMF's salary costs have risen from $7 million in 2010/11 to $88 million in 2021/22.
