I love Andrew's interview but his headlines are beginning to get monotonous.
This headline is descriptive and it works. Just because you've seen other headlines like that does not mean that new people discovering the site have.
As nobody has yet commented on this, I have started doubting my command of the English language, but here goes: it's hard to take a site seriously when it botches the first sentence of an article like this. No care for the language == no care for the facts.

I didn't realize the Mixergy guy is the same guy who called himself "G" on the reality show, Secret Millionaire. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMAKwl1GW-I
And Andrew mentioned that in passing. I think right at the beginning.
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&...

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.
i'm surprised by the level of hate exhibited in these comments...sure the guy has lots of pics with no shirt & maybe he comes across as narcissistic & arrogant, but he's also a high school drop-out & the son of poor immigrants who ended up coming to our country and creating an immense amount of wealth for himself plus jobs for others... how many of us can say we've done even 10% of that? i know i can't (at least not…

How many different variations of headlines do you think exist? You think that it's possible to just come up with new and exciting headlines all the time? This headline is descriptive and it works. Just because you've seen other headlines like that does not mean that new people discovering the site have.
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 Billionair…
I changed it on my site.
