Every large number sounds impressive, don't get yourself caught in that mind-trap. Divide the number by their employees, check earnings/winnings, subtract investments, compare to other companies and draw your conclusions again.

If I make $1000000/year, that's great. But if it takes me 1000 people to do it, that's less than $100 per person per month.

It was bootstrapped, from what I know the original 4 founders used to own 80% of the company a year or so ago.
What you know is false, sorry.
And what if they started with 4 and ended up with a 1000?
