(Corrected 5/9 with the notice that she still has a free tier)
I don't know, I haven't asked her. But while the Post continues to claim her, insofar as the Pulitzers are concerned (with full page ads run at least for 2 days), she may be far better off without them. Here's her initial newsletter about quitting the paper over a squashed cartoon, and there's plenty more coverage spread throughout this blog.
In her Substack newsletter about winning the award, she wrote, "Due to you all, my Substack Open Windows has reached 100,000 subscribers!!" I don't believe she has a free tier anymore, just She still has a free tier, but if everyone paid for a subscription at $80/year or $8/month she would gross perhaps $8,000,000 to a maximum of $9,600,000.
From Substack: 10% of each transaction
From Stripe: Credit cards
A credit card fee (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction fee) and a Billing fee for recurring subscriptions (0.7% for recurring payments as of July 2024).

Their example shows the bite at about 20% on a $5 dollar payment.
If we use that back of the envelope, Ann might be netting $6,400,000 before taxes.* I find this stunningly hard to believe, but I hope it's true. A dish best served cold after all...
*I'm not an accountant or businessman so feel free to correct my thinking. 5/9: Thanks to Wim Lockefeer for pointing out she still has a free tier; my paid subscription version wouldn't show that to me.
