Yup the world is big and even though we think we have heard stuff, there are more things beyond that. For example, I know a dev who makes mobile apps and clears 500_000 / month in profit and yet their app isn't really "popular". It is crazy.

Huh, cool.

What sector is the app in, what are some other interesting (non-identifying) aspects of the app that stand in contrast to revenue? Is that in ads, or does the app have in-app purchases et al?

The only way to make that much of money is with dating apps, IMHO. There’s a million out there and some of them make really good money in certain niches.
You are going to say what the app is, right? right?
Through sales, subscriptions, or ads?
