To put things into perspective (info found on google)....
Larry Flynt's net worth way back in 2001 during the glory days, was $400 million.
Hugh Hefner used to be worth a lot (600 million) but these days it's under $100 million.
Both of these guys built their empires over a lifetime. Nathan built his in 3 years. 
What I do know is, if I had that kind of cash, responsibility, connections and know-how, I sure as hell would not be wasting my time on GFY trying to defend my position to people I didn't even know. I'd expect that from one of his lower grade uploader employees, but not from a man who could make such a power move within 3 short years. With that kind of cash it would be ALL about my family and my business. But to each his own. Maybe he is just lonely and emotionally dysfunctional. Then it would at least make a little sense.
Spending the weekends posting on GFY trying to explain himself over and over and over again to dick heads like us, is exactly what someone with his ability, connections and know-how should be doing. Yea, makes perfect sense. Not sure how I didn't see that before. Sorry Nathan, I believe you now. |
Flynt is still kicking it, for sure with the Casino business now.
One thing to note that both Flynt and Hefner don't have, then or now, is major online global reach. Cut the B.S. both actually suck at it, for who they are - they both really dropped the ball online.
They could have been much larger... Nathan and hahaha aren't the only super powers in our Industry. They just happen to be the two you hear about.
Yes, Nathan could tell us to piss off or ignore us. But that wouldn't benefit him very much for reputation management/repairing reps, stopping rumors, etc. He's also the person with the info, and it sounds and looks like he doesn't have a right hand person he trusts to do that job.
I read an article several weeks back that talked about major corps, like some of the top 500. Where the CEO's were going online more, Twitter, Facebook, actually sending emails to customers, etc. Doing rep management, solving issues hands on, watching the issues they really have... We will start seeing more and more of this as more people learn to research before they buy.
That mixed with not having someone around that can do a better job than yourself, would probably mean any of us would be doing what he is.....if we cared at all.
