  1. This is an awesome list. Thank you for sharing.

  2. You should add me, I’m worth like $100

  3. $700 Million. That’s Tiger Woods style (well, pre-affairs).

  4. Great list but one guy I think you forgot that should be on there is Gurbaksh Chahal. He sold his website for like 300 million to Yahoo and wrote a great book as well.

  5. When was this list last updated?

  6. Fantastic and mind blowing information that every body likes to read and may be in future when you make a list of above thiry years then i may be the one if God wills.

  7. why it’s all guys? where’s the girls? E.g. Michelle Dewberry

  8. My concern is the criteria used to determine the value and whether the focus is only on Americans, I am an African based in the Republic of South Africa. Can anyone of the young millionaires sponsor my website?

  9. Why there is no name of Gurbaksh chahal in the list of young enterpreurs when he sold his site to yahoo for $ 340 million .

  10. Nice list here Michael, but it looks like it needs updating. I love the look of your site here and at incomediary.com. Well done real good.

  11. These List is very good. I knew only Marc Zuckerberg and Perez Hilton before. The One Million Dollar Page is very amazing, how easy you can make money.

  12. My concern is the criteria used to determine the value and whether the focus is only on Americans, I am an African based in the Republic of South Africa. Can anyone of the young millionaires sponsor my website?

  14. Excellent! Great People with great contribution to the society, and good role model and inspiration for the present and future generation. I really wish that I have the brain and passion like you guys. Well done.

  15. Man, thats a great list! I can only image!

  16. why isn’t Eric Bauman on this list? He sold his site (ebaumsworld.com) for 10 million and made tons of profit off of it before he sold it.

  17. Actually i was a little off, he actually sold ebaumsworld for 15 million with 2.5 million in stocks and has made over 52.5 million in cash and stock over 3 years…There is no reason why he shouldn’t be on this list since he is young.

  18. Wow that is some serious amounts of money that they have made.
    But with any Internet business they are started with the same thing.
    NOTHING yes thats right to build a home based business you have to build it from the ground upwards.
    well done
