    My google skills are failing me...

    Can anyone point me towards Blackwater and/or Erik Prince annual earnings? I remember hearing on NPR the numbers but now I cannot find them for the life of me.

    Blackwater doesn't exist anymore. Now, it's Xe Services.
    Private companies don't have to report annual earnings. I'll see what I can dig up for you though.

    It shouldn't. As a privately held company, they are not bound to publish this information anywhere that the public would be able to get their hands on it.

    If NPR has reported on it, it shouldn't be that difficult to find the info...

    My guess is NPR has someone on their side that is 'in the know.' Either that, or what NPR reported is figures gathered from the government books. Government contract payments are part of public record, so for their work in Iraq and Afghanistan, those numbers should be available as the GAO publishes them. I have access to some pretty informative financial data not available to the general public, including private company stuff and I see nothing but blanks for Blackwater or Xe when it comes to revenues, incomes, etc.

    For the government contract stuff, google GAO and Blackwater (or Xe) -- I am sure you'll find something useful.

    The articles I found on Blackwater listed almost $1 Billion in contracts for the year, but nothing on CEO compensation.
