I know this website has been discussed before, but its up now again.

From the previous discussion, some said it's a made up story.

Can someone tell me whether this kid is really making millions from this website?

It's been picked up by more major media outlets in the last few days.

One thing I noticed again when looking at it was that the Rich Jerk can't spell. Had I noticed before I might have sprung for an ad underneath his that says "I Can Spell, Your Can't."

Wow, I hadn't checked it for some time. This guy must be having an absolute ball at uni! :)

I noticed that too when I first saw it, but I think it's actually an affiliate and not the original guy. Not sure though, he might be using something to track his sales that looks like an affiliate.

The original link is:


h ttp://www.zobius.com/I_AM_BETTER_THAN_YOU_AND_I_AM_FILTHY_RICH--I_AM_A_JERK/

And when you click it, it redirects to:


h ttp://www.therichjerk.com/?hop=reberry88
One thing you have to hate about affiliate advertising is that your advertisers can make you look dumb and hurt your credibility... especially in his case where he insults the readers and brags about himself to get them to buy his product.

Back to main topic:

I don't think it's made up.

Chris, I would have definitely donated to the cause.
