my vote goes for pk as well

As well as the other webmistresses that have been mentioned, Nikki66 rocks :)
nik

Yeah.

LOL

I've known ruth and her dad, Rich aka Rick since 1997.

She's obviously super smart, very well connected and has been since the the early days because of her dad.

She struck out on her own LONG ago and is NOT REALLY a webmistress.

BUT she's definitely one of the most successful web operators (man or woman) EVER!

:2 cents:

She is the lady who sold out her adult sites in 1998 and set up party poker right?

What were her adult sites?

Thanks for taking me off ignore.
In the loose definition of webmistress I think she fits.

YOU know everyone

Are you ignoring me?
I acknowledged you first! :mad:

Not at all man. I see YOU get it already :)

pfew.....just a small panic attack there....
:1orglaugh

I don't know anything about this person but I would bet most of her net worth was made in the online gambling part of her career rather than the adult, and being a 'webmistress' so to speak. It seems her dad basically handed her his thriving business:

"Although qualified as a lawyer, it is unclear whether she ever practiced, because shortly after leaving law school she went into business with her father, who by then was running sex chatlines. By 1994 she had two of her own chatlines, called WKP and SPR. Some say Richard Parasol gave them to his daughter to help her make her own way in the world of adult entertainment." - http://********.com/read.aspx?ID=10316

If she was ever a webmistress is was for a brief time because according to her spokesperson she was out of adult by 1996 (when most online sites were just getting their start).

"Ms Parasol's spokesman says she and her father had withdrawn from IEG by mid-1996, and that she has severed her connections with the internet pornography industry."

Interesting woman and story nonetheless.

PK is the one that comes to mind the most, But Czarina does very well. She is very rarely here on the board, but she works her ass off in this industry.

Webmistress only does adult?
Where do you draw the line. .What about webmistress that only promotes or runs dating sites?

I would say "Who is the most succesful Adult Webmistress?" would mean some one ONLY in adult..

IMHO ofcourse I did not make the thread

Yeah I agree, the line is pretty grey and she can be considered a webmistress.

Curious info about her also it seems the US Government wants to lock her up. But gambling is where the money is.

"What makes it all very interesting is that the U.S. government had said that PartyGaming PLC is in violation of three federal statutes: the Interstate Wire Act, the Illegal Gambling Business Act, and the Travel Act - because online gambling is illegal in the U.S., and because 90% of PartyGaming's revenue comes from U.S. residents. As such, all the principles are subject to arrest and imprisonment. That's why the company isn't traded on any of the exchanges in New York, and one of the reasons Ruth is living in Gibraltar. Another is that taxes are low. This threat from the U.S. government made estimates of PartyGaming's IPO as low as $5 billion just two weeks ago, but investors obviously didn't ultimately care." - http://www.latitude38.com/LectronicL...27/June27.html

I think with a cpl billion you can avoid certain things :)

You are entitled to your opinion, of course - even though you're wrong

:2 cents:

LOL

I know YOU and that's all that matters - and the fact you turned me on to that Green Valley Sushi spot - puts you on my "well connected" list!

:winkwink:

no reason to ever step inside the states again. some laws are just so stupid.

if they could tax it - it would be a different story i'm sure.

:2 cents:

Agreed. I don't understand why we can have Vegas but online gambling is a no no. Just regulate it and tax it.

;) When you headed out this way next?

I would say Danni Ashe

:wetkiss

girls rule :winkwink:

It's not about taxing, they don't tax vegas either, it's about vegas getting less money due to online gambling, you know who owns vegas. :pimp

US will probably soon add a legislation that one has to also run a real-world casino to run an online casino, that's how it's done in some other places around the world.

OK OK the truth is out. I taught PK everything she knows :winkwink:

I really dislike the term webmistress.
I would imagine the most successfull one whoever it is, did not feel so insecure that they could not be labled a webmaster.
