How much money did the Wright Brothers make from Wright CycleCO?

The Wright Brothers, Orville and Wilbur, established the Wright Cycle Company in 1892, which primarily sold bicycles. While specific financial figures are not widely documented, it is estimated that they made around $1,000 in annual profit from the business at its peak. This income helped fund their aeronautical experiments and ultimately contributed to their success in developing the first powered aircraft. The cycle company was a significant source of income before they shifted their focus entirely to aviation.
