Well, seeing as they have about 11 million people playing, and each paying around 20$ a month, im guessing around 2640000000$ a year, and thats not even from the actual number of games that get bought every day.

 

Just guessing though :p

They take a LOT of money in subscriptions, game sales and sponsorships from techonlogy companies on their forum etc. However, you have to take into consideration that they have to pay for all the server hosting, electricity, cooling and bandwidth, not to mention the moderation, administration and development staff. They also spend a lot of money on marketing and other such things. Overall they must turn a good profit otherwise they could not continue to develop the game, however it may not be as much as you might first imagine when all fixed and variable costs are taken into account.

I don't think they revealed the figures. But a few billions a year was rumoured.
