It is very low. I cannot come up with an average number. I looked it up on Google and I found it ridiculously overestimated.

At that time, the average salary within the company was about $250. I wished I could work at the U.S embassy when I heard that there were people who used to make $500 a month. So, you can get a sense of how much you would make.

As of my last update, Amway does not have an official presence in Yemen. The company's operations typically focus on markets where they can ensure reliable distribution and support for their products. Given the ongoing conflict and instability in Yemen, it is unlikely that Amway would establish a business presence there. For the most accurate and current information, it is best to check Amway's official website or contact them directly.

Is Yemen where the majority of Arabs come from?
All Arabs are originally from Yemen and it's known for all Arabs that "Arab's origin is Yemen" but if you mean that most Arab people are Yemenis! no they're not.
The previous answer is incorrect. In Pre-Islamic Times, when the Arabs were only found in the Arabian Peninsula, Arabs were quite evenly distributed across what is now Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Yemen. (Understandably, they would be concentrated in cities and along the coast, but the percentage of Arabs in these areas was nearly identical). With the Rise of Islam, Arabs have expanded outward from the Arabian Peninsula and are now endemic in many other countries. So, no, most Arabs did not come from Yemen and today most Arabs certainly do not come from Yemen.
What beverage were the Sufis in Yemen the first to drink in the 15th century?
The Shadhiliyya order are responsible for what we now know as modern day coffee. They originated from Ethiopia and the drink was popular among follower of Islam. The drink was made from a native bush and fruit taken from it. The original name was : qahwa-The wine of Islam.

Najran is a city in southwestern Saudi Arabia. It's the capital of Najran province, which is along Saudi Arabia's southern border with Yemen. The city is said to have a 4,000 year old history, which began with its settlement by its legendary founder, Najran ibn Zaydan ibn Saba ibn Yahjub ibn Yarub ibn Qahtan.
From its thousands of years of development, Najran is the base from which archaeological discoveries still are being made. Such discoveries range from ancient bronze artifacts to the surviving evidence of the city's role as a focal point of the incense trade, of leather and iron work, and of cloth manufacture. In fact, the city once was home to a Jewish community whose famed cloth makers claimed descent from the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.
