When you read the stuff well, Wikia has been provided capital to expand its operation. There is no money from the Wikimedia Foundation involved. People have a day job you know..

Wikia taps eBay exec as CEO San Francisco Business Times - 2:41 PM PDT Monday
Wikia Inc., a for-profit company founded 18 months ago by Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, hired Gil Penchina as its CEO on Monday.
Penchina was vice president and general manager at eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY).
Penchina was *a* vice president of eBay. eBay is one of these companies with lots of division presidents, senior vice presidents and vice presidents.
