    His Companies Have Sold for Over $1.3 Billion

    Over the past eight years, 37-year-old entrepreneur Richard Rosenblatt has sold a series of Internet media companies for a total of more than $1.3 billion. In his last big deal as Chairmain of MySpace.com, he engineered a $580 million sale to Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. He previously sold a company he founded, iMall, for $565 million.

    Rosenblatt has now entered the domain business as Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of Demand Media, Inc. Despite being founded less than a year ago (in May 2006), the company has already become one of true giants in this industry. We'll tell you how Rosenblatt got where he is today and why he thinks he can turn Demand Media into a $2 billion company.

    Now that is some Serious money.

    Very cool. I hear he knows a thing about Bulk Mail also... but he rarely mentions that.
    I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

    Webair, bitches.

                Wonder how much theHun would get if someone with deep pockets bought it.

                Not just thought about it... But gave him an offer he couldn't refuse.

                              i think the future of internet porn is far too uncertain to drop that type of money on an adult site.

                                The same could be said for mainstream websites.


                                A girl once told me "Give me 8 inches and make it HURT".

                                So, I fucked her twice and hit her with a brick.

                                              Why you asking the core meaningful question when everyone else has their eyes on the dollar value Batts?

                                              Bet he started from his moms spare bedroom and spent 10 hours a day on GFY getting a clue

                                                i'll say 33 millions... euros

                                                Just traffic wise , how much a site/network with 2000 000 daily of good quality traffic would worth .

                                                in the range of 500k$-1 million or more into 5-10millions?

                                                just curious

                                                    Thehun is not even in the same league as myspace...
