$39.61 x 80% = $31.68

Webmaster gets $31.68

They get $7.93 per member

Plus they can upsell the user to another site of theirs or sponsor, since they honestly don't have a big incentive to keep the member around but they do know the person has a credit card and buys memberships.

My numbers may not be 100% but they are pretty close.

I'm not saying they shave, but if they do then there is extra profit.
you left out content, bandwidth, staff and incidentals.
