Random financial speculation:

Around 5000 rooms a night get rented (via the video).

The make an average of ~10% per transaction (3% from the host, the rest from the guest: http://www.airbnb.com/help/topic/hosting)

Say an average of $60/night.

60 * 0.1 * 5000 = $30,000 revenue/day.

That's pretty decent money.
