Warning to all: don't click on Blogging to the Bank unless you want to look at the sales letter and have to click through a maze to get off the page.

That said, it looks like one theme is fun. Many game or social type sites.

OMG I was just about to say....


It's just a typical spammy e-book website that damn near forced me to reboot my puter to get out of.

Interesting...I did not know the Million Dollar Homepage kid is the one who came up with the EntreCard.

I'm suprised Andrew Gower is #2, last i saw he was worth about $60m, i'm not sure how accurate 650m is.

Graham Langdon created EntreCard, but before that he created the MillionDollarWiki which was a copy of MillionDollarHomepage, which was created by Alex Tew.

I know too much about these million dollar things.

Does "annual turnover" mean gross revenue? I'm interested in where they get these numbers. A lot of those sites are privately held and I didn't think they disclosed financial info.

Thanks exactly what I was thinking. Where did the $1.6 million for Alex Tew come from and for PerezHilton.com, I think that makes twice as much as stated in this list. Still it's interesting to read through.

It is an interesting list, but I agree the numbers are suspect. The threadless guys throw out various numbers, but I haven't seen them throw out a number that big for annual revenue.

Ya. Those are pretty bogus numbers. I'm also not on the list. Shame. ;)

I just wish I were under 30! Baha!

I remember reading an article recently on TechCrunch which pointed out that the commonly held belief that young entrepreneurs are more likely to succeed than older ones is actually a myth. The article showed that entrepreneurs over the age of 35 actually had a much higher success rate.

We just don't hear about them as often because people aren't impressed when a 42 year old builds a multimillion dollar business, but they are if it's a 23 year old who does the same thing.

The reason why older entrepreneurs are more likely to be successful is because they tend to have more experience and a greater ability to manage their finances as well as better credit scores so they can get bank loans, etc.
