Fuck Me - I Am In The Wrong Biz!!
 

Look at the fees to set up and run a blog on the WordpressVIP program..

This is not including hosting BTW....

Damn thats insane.

Sadly some companies will come along and pay it and could have saved themselves a ton just by hiring someone in the office or as a telecommute.

reminds me to add something to my to do list

"VIP Self-Hosted" - starting at $15,000/year. WordPress.com team supports you as you build your own large-scale WordPress, bbPress, or BuddyPress project. This is quite expensive. I think the result would be one of the most professionally done sites.

what is that for

They sell support like most big theme / plugin companies. These prices mean nothing to corporations and they want the support that isn't on the payroll.

wonder if any actually do the $250,000 one for the support

To think I once sent them a donation when wordpress was new :)
