jakethedog · 01-16-2008, 01:12 PM

uh ... holy short list.. ??

Kristian · 01-16-2008, 01:13 PM

I'm not sure how inspired I feel. At 32 I just feel old. lol

Drake · 01-16-2008, 01:17 PM

Where did they get those numbers?

lol. Feel inspired mate. I'm 31 and I still do.

pornask · 01-16-2008, 01:35 PM

I'm 33, got some major catching up to do, damn it

Sosa · 01-16-2008, 01:37 PM

My Year Bookm, 17 and 19 years old 10 mil. Very nice!

AdultTrafficMedia · 01-16-2008, 01:49 PM

Nice list - thanks.

An adult list would make interesting reading.

GAMEFINEST · 01-16-2008, 02:06 PM

they are all ballers

CarlosTheGaucho · 01-16-2008, 02:08 PM

If I won't fuck around I can still make the list

WWC-Pajio · 01-16-2008, 02:16 PM

good to know

Eman - PG · 01-16-2008, 02:22 PM

Are those numbers based on tax returns or ficticious company valuations?

Haha, no shit. facebook 700 million?

Runescape I can see being very high. They have over 1 million subcribers paying $5 a month. So they are grossing 5 million a month just in subscriber revenue alone.

01-16-2008, 02:48 PM

Kevin Rose [ Digg ] 30 years old | $31M

Is that the same Kevin Rose that used to be on TechTV? If so, he sure has done well for himself.

DaddyHalbucks · 01-16-2008, 03:10 PM

Inspiring. If those youngsters can do it, anybody can!

Yesssss although I thought he was worth waaay more than that?

jalami · 01-16-2008, 03:12 PM

You know, when I see a list of the "world's richest" or whatnot, I get the feeling that the REAL richest people in the world aren't on that list. I bet some dude or family, most likely arab cuz of the oil, has 10 times the money of a bill gates or carlos slim, and in hard, cold, untraceable cash and gold. You know it.

Lace · 01-16-2008, 03:19 PM

Damn....I'll be there shortly ;) muahahah

Eman - PG · 01-16-2008, 03:21 PM

How many millionaires on paper from 1999 are working tech support jobs nowadays? Most of those guys listed there, run a company that has some 'valuation' or were bought out and paid in some other company's stock.

It's all about the cash.

Star 69 · 01-16-2008, 03:35 PM

Mainstream is coming. There is no money in porn, lol

After Shock Media · 01-16-2008, 04:14 PM

Dollar amounts should not be inspiration anyways, and just because they are young does not mean anyone could do it.

Inspiration should come from how they got thier money and not how much they are worth. Inspiration is that guy who failed 97 times before finding just that one right thing that made him millions. Hell inspiration is seeing some girl with down syndrome working at McDonalds after getting past the perfectly able 20 something punk begging for change outside.

liquidmoe · 01-16-2008, 04:32 PM

Regardless of the specific $$$ value of each person, I think the sites/companies these guys/gals created is really something of note and I think the majority of us that are in one way or another in the online field would love to create something of the same magnitude, regardless of the end pay-off.

to them

brandonstills · 01-16-2008, 05:56 PM

Where did you get those numbers? I'm surprise at the deviant art one. How is wordpress making money? I thought it was open source. Maybe I'm thinking of something else.

warlock5 · 01-16-2008, 06:10 PM

That list is bullshit, whoever put it together mixed incomes with estimated net worths.

V_RocKs · 01-16-2008, 07:58 PM

Deviant Art? WTF? I remember when he actually needed donations because if he didn't get them he was going to close because of the BW bills making his hobby no longer fun anymore.

Doctor Dre · 01-16-2008, 08:00 PM

that's a very very bad list... I know a couple people that'd make this list, even in mainstream.

Yeah runescape is very popular. But its security is not to good. My son just had his payed account hacked. They changed the pasword and user and now he cant get it back. All his hard playing down the drain..lol

soulbleed · 01-16-2008, 08:07 PM

there were some surprises in there

Nismo · 01-16-2008, 08:46 PM

what about the tshirt hell guy?

CuriousToyBoy · 01-16-2008, 08:56 PM

I know at least 20 people I could name that would EASILY beat the numbers on that list.

In fact, maybe even more than 20 eaily without even thinking.

haha, wonder what happened to him. I think his name was Martin Sargent.

When they put his little talk show on the air it was the beginning of the end for TechTV.

Video Rob · 01-16-2008, 09:10 PM

What about that 16 year old that made over 60 million from myspace layouts?

tony286 · 01-16-2008, 09:12 PM

woj · 01-16-2008, 09:48 PM
