A Baltimore real estate developer handed his 198 staff a $10million holiday bonus, with each employee receiving on average a $50,000 check.

St. John Properties announced the payday at the recent holiday party.

Company founder and chairman Edward St. John said that the amount each employee will receive depends on tenure — but most will take home an average around $50,000, the New York Post reported.

Employees screamed in disbelief when St. John told them of the bonus, with each staffer opening a red envelope with the exact size of their award.
