How much does owning a chess club make a year?

So, I'm 15 and my current chess club owner offered me a job opening at owning, myself, a club for youngsters.

Everything is fournished, so I don't have to worry about buying anything, but he says there's gonna be money coming in my pocket.

I'm just wondering, how much :P

You may be using the word differently here?  To me owning means you own the land and building.  Your expenses would include things like utilities and property tax.  Your income would be club dues I guess.  And that probably isn't possible at 15.

By owning a club for youngsters maybe you mean you'd give lectures or organize activities?  And he'd pay you for your work.

I'm 15 too, and the club I'm in is completely free...

If you're 15, you shouldn't be charging anything for people to join your club. Why would they pay to join your club when they can pay to join a different club with older, more experienced players.

Whatever the situation may be, this is a proper question to ask him.

If you make more money than Amy Lee running Millionaire Chess this year you'll be doing well.

You could make money selling coffee or drinks at your club or you could make small tournaments.

A casino owner, the owner of a racecourse and the owner of a chess club were discussing what they did with last year's earnings. When the first two had finished discussing their new villas, yachts, Lear jets and girlfriends, they turned to the silent chess club owner: "How about you?" "I bought a grey pullover". "Great, but what about the rest?" "Yeah, my gran gave me the rest so I could afford it."

lol Roy. Turns out, it's not only a club for young people. It's for everyone, and they pay the the president of our League, who pays me.

I make ~$200 per week.

TehBeast

Which in turn, is ~200 for 3 hours.

They are paying a 15 year old $200 for 3 hours?

I'm not sure they are the smartest businessmen.

LOL, the thing is that there is maximum like 2-3 people (including me) who goes to the club XD. Why do they pay him that much for almost nothing but playing pool or messing with songs in the studio? Money Mouth

Well pay days next week, so a few days before I'm usually broke. I budget my expenses pretty good it's just always a stretch. Think of when I use to live at home always had money, a car to drive, money for entertainment. Now I'm in the real world things are not easy but I really like being on my own.
