A dividend is simply a payment given to investors, proprietors, owners, etc. It is a large amount of money that comes from profits. However, a dividend does not need to be equal for all the recipients. A stoke holder can get $3000 because that person has a lot of stocks. However, another stoke holder can only get $1.00 dollar because of fewer stocks. In other words, dividends is the fancy world
. in business for "payments".
