hahaha, great comments. Blender is so brilliant. I met Ton Roosendaal last year when conferences were still a thing. He is awesome. Those guys/gals are amazing. They got a huge grant from Unreal, its great to see software like this just crushing it.
You are thinking in bay area figures. The blender foundation is based in the Netherlands and engineers make far less in wages over in Europe. And lastly by open source standards those grants are quite significant.
