I will give you the same reply as I did at the other forum.

................

See the thing is with these "Rich Lists" is they are nowhere near accurate.

I mean, who cares who is making the most money online?

I can tell you now that list is totally inaccurate. I know people in the domain industry that make more money than half of that list just from the online real estate they own.

Plus people who do not wish to give out financial details of their earnings. I really don't want the whole world knowing what I earn.

Totally pointless thread.

Most big earners channel their money through various sources, hell many in the Uk have offshore companies that own sites, they get paid to promote these sites (effectively employing themselves), but the bulk of the earnings into those companies never come onshore, it just sits offshore

How many on that 'Rich list' have newsletters, or 'mentoring' subscription programmes etc? i don't know many people who are glad to tell others EXACTLY what they are earning, how can they anyhow?

e.g. SEO Bloke 'A' has 3 companies, these companies are registered in Delaware or Nevada, so there is hardly any cost overhead. These companies make £1m profit in a year, the SEO charges these companies £25,000 each to market their sites, how much has the SEO earned? in THEORY £75k, but in reality as he owns these companies he has made a million. Check his tax return though and as these companies are legal entities in their own right, THEY pay the tax on their profits.

All is not black and white with regard earnings.

yeah, a lot fo people don't boast about how mucht hey earn online. I'd assume it'd be the dircetors of all the big names though - Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Amazon, EBay/Paypal

Indeed, in the UK it is Richard Branson according to this list (first to mention INternet) Search the Sunday Times Rich List 2008

I was tempted to add myself to this list, but refrained

List of the 100 wealthiest people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How many of these people on both lists are making substantial amounts online?

Who cares who is making the most money online!
Important is: how each of us can make money online?
And as many of us are beginners, there is a lot of work
and learning waiting for us.
If someone find some good way, I will be appreciate
if he (or she) will share this with me (with us).
I find one good way last month (almost free e-book store)
and if you are interested, click on the link in signature.
It works for me, and I hope it will work for
all other newbies.
So, I am waiting for your successful ways to make money online!
Please, enlighten me with your knowledge!
Wish you luck!

Personally I disagree.

It's becoming easier and easier in my eyes. I do think the whole "make money online" niche pioneered by the likes of Rowse and John Chow is oversaturated, but there are plenty of other niches. I have made a sizable decent part time income of the last few months targeting niches. I enjoy it a lot more, and work a little less than struggling writing posts on how to make fortunes on stumbleupon.

Just go to Digitalpoint, say what you are good at, selling yourself, and you'll "make money".
