If a site like Khan Academy was monetized, how much would it be worth?

I have learned quite a bit on that watching his great videos. He has made it free but has received in the last two years millions from Bill gates and Google so hire a team and run as a professional outfit. But how much would a site like Khan Academy be worth if he were to monetize it, which he has promised he will never do? When he first started out it use make $2000 from Adsense but soon took it off. But now its grown into a mammoth. The potential to sell educational material linked to it would be enormous.

But in his case, the value comes from teaching others for free and you can't put a price on that, from a sentimental point of view.

    That's a great question. I think he won big because of big donors in the form of Microsoft and Google. Other than that, it would be extremely difficult to get quality content in bulk to monetize. I really see huge potential in video in terms of teaching "once" to everyone, but it has to be engaging. Check out this youtube video about spark notes. I think these type of videos are amazing because they are engaging with artwork as they teach. Perhaps you can do something similar to Spark Notes:
