    according to dnscoop.com the habbox.com site is worth $193,593 and habboxforum.com is worth $4,241 these may not be entirely acurate but they give you an idea of the worth of the sites and of how much money is likely to be passing through.

    Habbox also own/run Habboxworld.com , Habboxlive.com & Uploadpicz.com so that'll add up onto more money coming out of sierk's wallet.

    aye but depending on ad's placed on them and money grabbing schemes it may mean more coming in also, main thing is habbox is secure financially otherwise it wouldnt of been running, hes just priviliged that its such a success so it can pay for itself.

    That would depend on if its just before or just after the bills are paid each month

    Over the past few years when Habbox has had some spare cash build up there has been a donation to charity
    I am sure the last 2 or 3 xmas's Habbox donated all of Decembers VIP money to a chosen charity (It was a registered charity last year if I recall and not a fund Sierk's Xmas charity). This might happen this year but I guess it depends on the state of the Habbox Finances and what bills need paying.
    I am not sure the reason for charity donations but but Sierk could have kept all the money for himself with no questions asked.
    This could be just to give something back or it could be a tax reasons but that is sierks business.
    Its not good idea to make a profit without informing the tax man and also think of those massive forms they expect filling in.

    If you look in the 'Habbox' part of the navigator on www.habbox.com you can see the charity donation or follow the link below.

    Habbox has been through some Great times but also some difficult ones in the past over certain issues Sierk has always done what he believed was right and will continue to do so.
    In my opinion if Habbo followed Habbox's example of how to deal with things they would have a lot more respect.

    So basically he doesn't actually make a profit, or if he does, he doesn't use it for himself, he uses it to keep all the sites goingm, and make them better.

    Read what he said....
    Habbox is his hobby and he enjoys owning it.

    There is no other Habbo site more dedicated than Habbox and sierk.

    The site pays for itself at the minute I think but Sierk would put more money in to make up for anything that could not be paid for by income fom VIP and Google ads.
    The big question is has he put more in than hes got out? and quite clearly he has put more in

    In the beginning Sierk paid for everything out of his own pocket.
    I remember he was unsure about the risk in buying a VB and if it would be worth it. In the end I purchased the VB and domain habboxforum.com and became forum owner before agreeing a nominal fee to pass it over to Sierk, I dont want to disclose the fee he paid but that came out of his own pocket and it was a bit more than a VB license.
    Back then the only VB habbo forum was HF but after how well HxF and HF were performing everybody rushed to get one.
    I am not sure if Sierk is in profit or not from what he has spent on Habbox over the years but I doubt he is but only buying checking 4 years worth of ins and outs he would know. There is enough money to keep site running without him paying out his own pocket then its great news.

    Yes people have answered the question, then the debate and discussion goes on, try reading all the posts.

    Sierk is indeed dedicated, and i respect him for that, i know i probably wouln't be able to keep a site going like this
