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 :winkwink:

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.

evildick 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.

:thumbsup 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
