Charging for premium features - Sure. But the basic version will remain free according to the Trello Guide.
Free... for how long?
Trello is free forever. We may add pay-only features in the future, but everything that's free today will be free tomorrow and forever. Also, we'll not make a for-pay feature that forces you to compromise on privacy, security, or portability. Those are built-in. [...] Trello is free.
Not to say that this valuation indicates a bubble but I find it interesting to compare it to the Moorhuhn Game Series which was popular quite a few years ago. Seems to have been the equivalent of Angry Birds in the early 2000's.
Propelled by the game's popularity, its Bochum-based publisher Phenomedia AG, who had acquired Art Department, went public in late 1999 at the height of the dot-com bubble and attained a market value of up to one billion Euro.
Many other persons are missing and probably classified as "Other". According to TechCrunch the Samwer Brothers from Germany also invested in Facebook. Would love to know how large their share is if they are still holding onto it.

I enjoy reading about your struggles and experiences in earning a online income.
Is it safe to assume that those earnings are for December 2010? If yes, I would have assumed that earnings for Android software would have increased quite a lot more as this month is typically the strongest for many developers - See http://taptaptap.com/blog/million-million/ for a good example.
As for iPhone programming, feel free to check out http://itunes.apple.com/us/itunes-u/developing-apps-for-ios-... if you haven't already - There is plenty of material available from Stanford for free that will allow you to create your first iOS applications easily.
All that trouble for ~$10M in paper profit. Compare this to the $400M he seems to have netted from his investment in the drinks company Glaceau a few years ago.
CNBC does not directly benefit financially from price increases in stocks they cover. In this case, Mr Jackson (50 Cent) has a financial interest in the company and does participate in stock price gains - That is where I see a significant difference.
Worked for me to obtain auto fire on Chrome/Mountain Lion.
