Nickdenton In yesterday’s post debating Nick Denton’s dynastic wealth, we floated a revenue estimate for Gawker Media we’ve heard a few times: $6 million a year.  Since then, we’ve heard from those who say that’s a shade high, because Gawker only gets a $2.50 CPM (vs. $30 rate card).  And we’ve heard from those who say that’s quite low, because Gawker gets at least $7.00 per thousand pages.

End here:
