"Ben Thompson has several thousand readers who are happy to pay him $100 a year for his excellent Stratechery newsletter" [1].

He makes $200k / year from his newsletter: http://www.niemanlab.org/reading/ben-thompsons-stratechery-i...
wow, that seems really not much for a publication focused on business strategy.
That was a few years ago when he said he had 2000 subscribers. He doesn't say how many he has now.
