According to this article in Susan Polgar's blog, Magnus Carlsen earned USD 1.5 million in 2010. The bulk of the money came from a deal with G-Star clothing manufacturer.
If Carlsen had not dropped out of the recent world championship qualifiers, he would probably earn even more in 2012, providing he qualified which looking at his form is entirely probable.

Good for you , Fadli. If organizers and coaches can make sufficient money then it will help us to improve and find that special player who can put us on the chess map.

As an accountant, surely you know that in layman's term, 'earn' = profit, in Fadli's dictionary, not earn = income! :)
