Here's a portion of a comment written by someone going by the name of Kirista, in which she extols the advantages of Amway. I'm not going to copy and paste her entire comment because it's full of the usual crap Amway speak, but it's always interesting to see how some of the lies that Amway ambots tell are deconstructed.
They have given out bonuses totaling 405 billion dollars. What part of that is a bad thing? That is incredible!
Yes, I would say that is incredible, and here is why. As reported by Kirista, Amway has paid out more in bonuses than they have earned in sales over the course of their history! How can a corporation manage to pay out more money than it takes in? No, they don't! Alternatively, they may do so for a period of time before going out of business.
To make things easier for myself, let's stick to round figures for now. Amway ambots show up at this location bragging about how Amway made $11 billion last year and how they've been in business for 50 years. In response, I point out that Amazon made $60 billion last year and has been in business for 20 years. Which of the two companies is growing at a quicker rate and is more profitable?
When Amway first started out, they mostly offered soap goods. Over the years, they've added new items to their arsenal of brainwashed ambots to sell to them. It took them many years to reach their current annual revenue of $10 billion. And let the Amway ambots scream that it's $11 billion in revenue. To make things easier on myself, I'm working with round numbers.
I'm not sure how much money Amway made throughout the 1960s and 1970s, but billions of dollars is probably not the correct answer. The 1980s were probably not a good time, either. A large part of this has to do with the narrower product range and lower prices 30-40 years ago when compared to now, as well as the fact that they have many more things in their inventory now than they did 30 or 40 years ago. Consider the following scenario: For the first 30 years of Amway's existence, the company earned $5 billion every year. And everyone is aware that this is a significant stretch based on a few boxes of soap on their shop shelves and the reduced costs at the time. However, I'm being generous. Take, for example, Amway, which made $150 billion in its first thirty years of operation. And let's say Amway made $10 billion per year for the next 20 years, for a total of $200 billion over those 20 years.
As a result, Amway has earned a very generous $350 billion over the course of 50 years.
Now, before any Amway ambots get all giddy and exclaim, "WOW," remember that these are fictional characters created by me. It is only recently that we have learned that Amway's market capitalization has been hovering around $10 billion for the previous few years. I have no notion what was going on 30, 40 years ago. Those data are probably not publicly available, but if anyone knows where to look for them and wants to tally them up for the previous 50 years, please do it on my behalf. Your figure will be significantly lower than the $350 billion one I calculated using the overly generous formula above.
As a result of our overly generous methodology, Amway has made almost $350 billion since its founding.
Kirista alleges that Amway has distributed $405 billion in bonuses to ambots since the company's inception.
We're not even talking about the costs of other business operations — only the commission checks from IBO.
Now, I'm not convinced that Kirista drew the $405 billion figure out of her arse on her own. She got the information from a liar and con artist working for the Amway cult. And what are all of the good little Amway ambots up to these days? They clone their upline and go around telling the same lies as they did before.
Amway's entire business model is based on confusing ambots with numbers. The Amway cult leaders are constantly throwing statistics around while presenting the board plan and gloating about the billions of dollars they make every month – or will make in the next two to five years – and how they will be worth in two to five years. After a certain amount of numbers have been thrown around, no one knows which number is which.
Is it possible to find out how much money Amway pays out in commissions to their sales representatives? I believe that is most likely top-secret material that should remain hidden. I don't believe they're giving anything out, therefore it's just speculation or braggadocio on the part of the Amway cult leaders.
Kirista, you should go back to the drawing board and start over. Continue to draw circles around the pyramid.
