218,691 registered domains. [1]

$3M/month. M as in million, not mille [2]? Mille is still commonly used in accounting [3]

$36M/year is $164.61 per registered domain per year.

Porkbun [4] offer .ai $72.40/year. Even 3 letter domains don't seem to have premium pricing.

Something in this unsourced tweet literally doesn't add up.

Going back a few years about 7% of Tuvalu's GDP was from the .tv TLD. It can be a pretty big earner for some of the smaller countries that lucked into a popular TLD.
