Burning Man made $37 million in 2015

The Burning Man Project is more than a million bucks closer to taking over the world with its art and principles.
The San Francisco-based arts nonprofit, known best for its elaborate, 70,000-person annual arts-centric gathering in Northern Nevada’s Black Rock Desert, has released last year’s tax documents, revealing that the organization pulled in $36.9 million and spent $35.8 million in 2015.
While the organization that touts its 10 principles — such as radical inclusion, radical self-expression and gifting — may be making more than ever, it also is spending more than ever. The organization’s total revenue climbed year-over-year by 14 percent while total spending increased by 19 percent, according to 2015 tax documents.
