I'm a big fan or your style and work, Andrew, and I like the attention-grabbing titles you choose, but this one is a bit over the top. Should really be "How a 26-Year-Old Built a $100 Million Net Worth In Under 10 Years". The current version reads too much like it's a 16-year-old who's worth $100 million (a bit bait-ish). It's like if you write an article about Bill Gates titled "How a 16-Year-Old Became a Billionaire in 15 Years" ;-)

Love the site and love what you're trying to do with your business model (whether it works or not). Keep the interviews coming.

I used to work at Yahoo. This guy was a tool. A cursory search on Google explains all. http://images.google.com/images?oq=gurb&sourceid=chrome&...

Well, if you make 20 mil when you are 20 you are rather likely to become a narcissistic a-hole. And then fill the Internet with shirtless pictures of yourself. But we should give this guy some time, he is still young and has a lot to learn.

Your criticism would ring less hollow if you were the one worth $100 million.

Why would it? He doesn't seem to have a very great command of language but he's got all that money so whatever.

Lot's of people made a lot of money with the internet boom, pg and Mark Cuban among them. However, they are still people that did not enter the 'you cannot comment on me unless your wealth is greater than or equal to mine' club.
