You shouldn't make games. You should be a chef. Get out there and put up your grilled cheese sandwich kickstarter!
He's essentially made $50k via being funny. Which isn't unheard of when you look at all the other comedians in the world and their net worths. Seinfeld, for instance, is worth almost $1 billion.

Besides, making a potato salad is pretty easy, so backers didn't have to worry about donating but then not seeing the potato salad actually get finished. Peace of mind + humor = success.
Then I can use the 50 grand to re-invest into a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon!
