Depends on what it cost to setup and run.
Even if it cost $300 million (which it surely didn't) you'd be looking at a 10% return. That's better than a lot of investments (legal and illegal) out there.
And don't assume Megaupload itself (ads and memberships) was the only way they monetized the illegal content.
The guy was supposed to be worth closer to $150 million.
