Average Salary: $66,000

Expected Lifetime Earnings: $2,755,368

The average Chik-Fil-A franchise takes in over $3 million a year (source). McDonald's franchises cook up a cool $2.6 million in sales.

While sales doesn't exactly equate the same millions in your pocket (because as a franchise owner you have all of your expenses eating up those profits), the money is still pretty good. A franchise owner usually gets around $66,000 per year (source).

You can stand to make some serious coin from owning a successful franchise.

And successful is the key word. It means you'll have to do everything right. If you follow the franchise blueprint to the letter, set up in the right neighborhood, get the right staff, and work crazy-hard—like, 60 hours a week hard— you could see a salary in the high six figures (source). And if you get one franchise off the ground, you can build off it. Owning two or three franchises means double or triple the salary.

That he had to knead. Oh, also dough is money. Puns, ladies and gents. (Source)

Wheeeeee.

Invest well and you can be like the Dominoes deliveryman who worked his way up to manager, to franchise owner, to owning several franchises and being a multi-millionaire (source).

Now that's a lot of dough.
