Or $15 Million If You’re American.
People are always quick to call bloggers “nerds”, “geeks”, and “narcissistic losers”. My mom is very fond of this, and ensures that I remember this at least three times a day, sometimes four if she calls me from a private number.
One guy in America is currently smiling all the way to the bank after - actually wait. I’ve never really understood that line. As far as I know, I have NEVER smiled all the way to the bank, even when I’m there to draw money or to deposit a massive cheque.
Most of the time, I arrive there to beg the bank manager not to foreclose on the family farm, so that’s probably why. Anyway, scratch that last bit. Yes, I said cut, I’m not doing that scene anymore. It didn’t sound like something my character would say in real life.
Anyhoo, one guy in America is quietly nursing a semi this morning, earning himself millions of dollars and numerous casual blowj*bs after selling his blog for a shitload of cash.

Financial info site BankRate is expanding its financial product listings, as it’s acquiring Bankaholic, which provides info on deposits, savings accounts, and money market accounts. The company will pay $12.4 million up front, with another $2.5 million possible earnout over the next 12 months. Bankaholic’s sole employee John Wu will assist in the transition and remain for an unspecified period of time. [via Paid Content] |
Not bad. That’s R120 million rarnt for a shitty little one-man blog called Bankaholic. Yeah, I checked it out - it’s pretty shitty, he just writes about banks and interest rates and other boring financial stuff.
R120 million is the equivalent of winning the Euro Millions lottery, which is not bad going for a few evenings work. If his blog is worth that, imagine how much MINE must be worth. Christ, I could be sitting on a gold mine right now. Chat to you later, I think I’m going to give my agent a call.
