If you mean email newsletters generally, my own biggest is 172k but I know folks like The Skimm or the Morning Brew run into low millions of subs. A lot of it is down to how valuable and targeted the audience is and this guy is clearly winning on that front.

I thought something similar. Just to contextualize that number the LA Times only has 170 thousand digital subscribers.

And almost all of them in LA, even with a bias from it being digital so that's how you get it if you want it outside of LA.

Compared to Levine, who has me, in the UK, as a subscriber.

He has a way bigger potential audience than the LA Times.

Dude matt levine is a legend. I think that despite having no connection with the finance industry.
