I don't think it's the stacking. The popularity of all inflated businesses had significantly dropped so it makes sense that the payout will be lower now.
Bonnie, please check your stats and let us know if you see a major drop in popularity.

After the new update my business are not getting the same money I was before I was getting millions, now it's just thousands. I have like 40 VIP Theaters now there useless. Bonnie, Johnson's Burger, lucky strike lanes and Banana Republic are your highest pop that I can see from here, but all the businesses you have with windmill skins are quite low popularity e,g, 70 - 80. Check you have your highest popularity businesses in the right category of skin. I have SE so my businesses are all temporarily offices. Ugly but I need to amass some coins before I abandon my SEs as I cannot replace them if I need more coins again, and if the price of those last mansions was an indicator I will need plenty of loose change in the drawer of my bedside cabinet for future featured items.

Is it worth selling businesses that have gone down in value and quickly franchising them again from Mayors that haven't upgraded yet?
Or is the whole thing an unanswerable mystery?!

Anyone else still have a lot of stacked wonders that can confirm this??

Bummer, I checked my jobs and Bonnie is right, the wonders are not stacking fully.
My Railhead Bar pays 300/3 min if has the nightlife skin and 1,740/3 min if converted to entertainment skin as I have VIP theaters. This is equivalent to 10 wonders. I have 24 wonders though and should be paying 300*(1.2)^24=23,490/3 min
What is everyone else's experience? I am hopping I am just tired and my math is wrong
Tried another one Radio City Music Hall For 3 min jobs: office skin 286, entertainment skin 1,658, if 24 VIP theaters were stacked fully 22,736. Are they setting a cap at 10 wonders? Oceanside, Chilli Town, have you/can you test with more wonders?

I just tested stacking 2 stock exchanges. My buisness without stock exchanges earns 455 for 3 minutes. With one SE it earns 546 and with 2 SE's it will earn 637 so it looks like they are still stacking. Nice to see that they brought them back.

Chilli is correct. I tried it too and stacking works!
Please look at your businesses' popularity, if for instance you went from 400k to 4k this is why the numbers are so low.

Great I don't have to keep mine for ages for the "Just in case I need it" scenario. Yes, mine are still working, but I haven't done the upgrade yet, so assume it is now safe too. Thanks again everyone.

I just sold NASA and rebought it from Wonderland to see what happens. So far it worked. I'll see if the popularity stays high or comes down tomorrow.

Wow I just think it's weird I'm only getting like 10,000 for 2 hr job when I was getting around 900,000 to 1,000,000 for 2 hr job, that's a big change. I don't know, it just seems weird it happened right after the update, right be I updated I was getting the high dollar. oh well I have almost 7 Billion, I can't be to greedy.

Ok My Johnson Burger buss. With popularity of 33,844 as a restrant a 3 min job gets $272. Now when I switch over to entertainment with 30 VIP theater a 3 min job is worth $2,203. Something is not right in Denmark. Just saying.

Eep. Like everyone else, My poplaritys are just beyond blah. I was already on a mission to replace my bottom 3-4... And now it looked like 10 or so must go. I never had any really high pops, my highest was like 30k-40k-ish (?). But what really took the hit were mid-range ones, my 3k-4k's. They're all 80-ish!? This either really sucks, or jump started/is a breath of fresh air in MT2 for me (something to do). Not sure which one yet.
