The question the OP ask was for highest revenue.

But if you assume for example a 25% gross margin ( or pick a number you like), that's $500 million a year to pay infrastructure and other expenses.

I suspect those funds are substantially rolled back into the community as you describe.

Sometimes it feels like we are living in a real world version of SimCity :-)
