If he made $52K this way, he is a genius.

How is he taxed for this money? What would his final take-home be on 50K?

Good question. My guess is he would take home about $10 K.

Well, I’m only looking at this hypothetically because my gut tells me this is a media-stunt by Kick-Starter to create traffic to the website.

Yeah, my son and I both took to daydreaming about the possibility of easy money after reading this article. That was the point: it is an advertising gimmick meant to get you to sign-up. At least, that’s what I think.
