Triple Diamond - Rick Setzer -1985 Amway 1099 - $139,356. Their business generated income of $1 million/year Dexter Yager's Checks - certainly not the tens of millions people are led to believe 1995 Checks $2,404,150 1993 Emerald Bonus Check $156,360.98 1993 Emerald Bonus Check (Canada) $10,057.97 1993 Diamond Bonus Check $341,520.59 1993 Diamond Bonus Check (Canada) $19,278.13 1993 EDC Bonus Check $153,900.00 1993 Founders Bonus Check $150,000.00 To estimate Mr. Yager's total income, we have to include his leadership and depth bonuses as well. Here we can only estimate them. According to the Amway SA4400 data, if Mr. Yager had earned the maximum ever recorded ruby ($2,230/month), leadership ($15,810/month) and depth bonuses ($16,834/month), ($34,874/month) for all twelve months, there would have been an additional $418,500, for a total of $1.249 Million. Mr. Yager's personal performance bonus is not included as it will be tiny compared to all of these mentioned. Fred Harteis 1997 Checks $232,488.
