There was a stat produced yesterday, from a jambo, on the £50m"additional" revenue that Hearts have had since going bust in 2012, reconstituting, and then exiting administration in June 2014
It was an update on this 2023 story (at which point the figure was £41m extra revenue since 2013)

It was (roughly speaking) saying Hearts have had circa £20m from Foundation of Hearts donations and £30m from Benefactor donations.
That is on top of all the usual revenue that every club has access to ie regular gate revenue, hospitality, merchandise, TV revenue, prize money (home & Europe) and player trading.
Fifty Million Quid. Beyond what everyone else raises normally.
That's Fifty Million Quid...
