When I founded Wikipedia, I could have made it into a for-profit company with advertising banners, but I decided to do something different. We’ve worked hard over the years to keep it lean and tight. We fulfill our mission, and leave waste to others.
 
Compared to the other top-5 websites, the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit that operates Wikipedia, is pretty bare-bones:
 
*Google: 1,000,000 servers, 24,000 employees.
*Facebook: 60,000 servers, 2,000 employees.
*Microsoft: 220,000 servers, 90,000 employees.
*Yahoo: 50,000 servers, 13,900 employees.
*'''Wikipedia: 370 servers, 73 employees.'''
 
Wikipedia is the #5 site on the web and serves 420 million different people every month – with billions of page views.
