They have 1-5K employees. Even if you take a median salary of $40K, that's $40-200M/year. That's just the salaries with no taxes/overhead and no consideration that IT salaries are generally much higher.

Snapchat has 2000 employees roughly. But why?

And why does twitter need 4000 employees?

What do they all do?

edit: n/m. Their job postings are quite telling.
