Jones sells videos, books, T-shirts and even subscriptions videos. In 2013 alone, Alex Jones was estimated to be making $10 million/year from all of his merchandising sales.  On his website Infowars.com, Alex Jones also sells a number of dietary supplements. Through his successful radio show, the Alex Jones Show, Alex Jones also collects syndication revenue as well as advertising money.

However, Jones has also had to pay out money to his ex-wife. According to what appears to be a copy of the divorce settlement, Jones is paying his wife over $40,000 per month. In total, it is reported that he had to give his wife assets worth around $4 million.

John Oliver did a great show on this very topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyGq6cjcc3Q

People that buy from AJ are enabling the conspiracy nonsense and enriching a nut.

Yea the guy is making an empire out of selling ridiculous things based on conspiracy theories. I am sure Santander is not the only guy in the forum buying this stuff.

10M $ a year is ridiculous money selling shi*. This guy is a ridiculously good salesman/marketing guy or his target audience is incredibly dumb or maybe a bit of both.

Left-wing Buzzfeed found that most of the products were high quality.

Ehh...do some research will you?

Here's the article: https://www.buzzfeed.com/charliewarzel/we-sent-alex-jones-infowars-supplements-to-a-lab-heres?utm_term=.js0v3DmAO#.bcY2LEdpb

In short: Jones' products contain what they claim to contain but are horribly overpriced and often with zero proven effect.

Which is what I've been saying. Supplements and water filters are the Infowars equivalent of PBS/NPR pledge drives, buying a $100 t-shirt, or even buying campaign merch. The widget you get is not the product.
