Has anyone done the math for the dollar cost of gemming a base from start to maxxed everything? I hear players saying their fully upgraded bases are worth US $10k or more. It would be good to know the actual cost once and for all.

Idk but a guy I our clan called blade has L20 heroes, and he said it cost him like 84k gems.

I heard that Supercell racks in over 100k USD every day, but my guess would be that it would take over $10,000.
The way I heard it, they have a net profit of around $2.3m. Here's a link of an article on Supercell's achievement:

$100k? LOL. Try $2.4M+ a day!

Try $2.4 million a day: http://www.forbes.com/sites/karstens...any-supercell/
That's a whole lotta gems right there.
Edit: wow, three of us at the same time.
WHOA. Didn't expect it to be that high. That's crazy! They make over 900 million annually! If you think about it, that would mean that so many people are buying gems daily...
Actually, Dahimi helped me in this thread I made today. I believe it answers the OP's question.

Yeah yeah the figures are only accurate from pre jan. I'm going to redo the page. It's definitely on my list, but I'm going to write a program to perform the calculations and output the wikia code to produce the tables.
I used spreadsheets before and hand entered the values, but with the frequency of updates and the number of things that have to be changed on that page per update; I'm simply too lazy to do it.
After quite a bit of calculator bashing i got this:
2,438,000 total de for barb king lvl1 - 30
189 days upgrade time lvl 1- 30
Total - 92,797 gems
thats £475 british sterling (pounds)
Or $740 usd (american dollars)
if you're a millionaire go ahead and gem that bad boy but for 99% of us clashers who are middle-class we've got a long time to wait and a ton of raiding to do :)
That's good ! So we don't expect supercell to close down (and so clash of clans and so all the invested gems lol) anytime soon !
GOSH !!! if this is what they are making (SC) I want weekly updates !!! :p
You should also consider that the kind of people who gem their bases are the kind of people who gem troop creation so the total gems bought will be a lot more.
But at the end of the day even most farmers occasionally gem for various reason, certainly not to the same extent. The way I look at it is the cost to play this game is vastly less than the amount of money I put in the local coffee shop's tills every month.....and i'm mostly playing Clash in the coffee shop :)
