What does the average business owner earn? |
[Edit] |
Business Owners' Earnings Vary
Unfortunately, the term "average business owner" captures everyone from the owner of the local flower shop to the co-founders of Google (until it went public!).
Aggregating and averaging their earnings would therefore not be very telling for several reasons:
- A business owner's earnings vary, depending on the type and size of busiess they own.
- How much a business owner earns in terms of salary/paycheck may be very different than his or her paper worth in terms of stock options, retirement plans, and the value of the business he or she owns.
As this question is very broad, it may be more useful to specify the type and size of business you wish to inquire about.
Answer
That's a very broad question. A small business owner could be just breaking evern or clearing as little as $20,000 annually while a large successful business owner could be making millions per year. It depends on the size and type of the business as well as how successful it becomes.
