Mount Vernon's Food Sales
Share
Sam Parr shares revenue details about famous historical homes in America, particularly Mount Vernon.
"Mount Vernon, which is George Washington's house, does something crazy - just in food sales alone, $17 million a year. The whole operation does $15 million a year in admission sales, and in total they do about $51 million a year in total income, which includes $10 million from contributions.
They're set up as a nonprofit, which means all their numbers are public. It's one of the most visited homes in America, along with places like Graceland and Monticello. The total operation is incredibly successful, especially considering it's been a tourist destination for over 100 years."
