If this is your first time hearing of Aziz Ansari and you enjoy his comedy you might also want to check out his show 'Parks and Recreation' on NBC.
It's one of the best comedies on TV right now. I'd even say that it is approaching Arrested Development-levels.

I'm pretty sure Louis CK thought it was more than enough money to justify the business model.
He released the numbers on his website after it had sold 250k "copies" within 11 days.
Production costs + website: $250k Revenue: $1M Profit: $750k ROI: 300%
He says that $250k was about how much he would have been paid by HBO or Comedy Central if he let them produce it. So his new model tripled his profit compared to the old model.
Which is probably why he ended up choosing to keep $220k for himself and giving the rest of the profit ($530k) to charity and to his staff.
Louis CK: "That leaves me with 220k for myself. Some of that will pay my rent and will care for my childen. The rest I will do terrible, horrible things with and none of that is any of your business. In any case, to me, 220k is enough out of a million."

Louis CK spent $30,000 on the website. $200,000 was the total for production + the website.
