Kim Schmitz is a billionaire!

    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!

    Yeh, he's really keeping a "low profile" in that house. :p
    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.

    Maybe it's extremely rich because he has no respect for any law of any country.

    You can dream for real, but all comes to an end... sooner or later!
