Just out of fun I was trying to put a value on Kim Schmitz ever growing internet empire and my valuations (part of what I do) top the whole 'Mega' brand at around $1 billion. For those of you who do not know who Kim Schmitz is here's a profile of him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Schmitz He owns Megaupload.com aswell as 15 other Mega brand site. List here: http://www.megaworld.com/ Just thought it was pretty cool and worth a share that it's still possible for normal people to grow internet companies into the hundards of millions and even billions. Kim keeps a low profile, but from what I know he's living in New Zealand where dutch law enforcement can't touch him. This is the house he lives in, very nice pad indeed!
the wiki stresses more on the bad he has done but i am a megaupload user and yea its a really good setup the whole mega network
Yeh, he's really keeping a "low profile" in that house. I didn't know he had so many websites up and running, but I guess hard work pays of in the end.
Well the guy is a bit of a crook, but it's mainly fraud. He is a crazy guy though. There's a video of him on youtube driving around a golf course in a car.
lol could be or its possible that he is rich because he is a hacker one thing is sure no one would want to mess with megaupload
