In what might be the most brilliant yet somehow undiscovered idea to get rich quick, Alex Tew, a student from Wiltshire, England came up with a Web Page with a million pixels and sold each pixel at $1 per pixel for ads. www.milliondollarhomepage.com provides advertising space to companies from around the world, who purchase the minimum of 100 pixel blocks for $100. These blocks are hosted on the homepage with a link through to the company's site.
Since its launch in 26th August, 2005, the Million Dollar Homepage has been an instant success with companies and individuals all wanting to own a piece. The last thousand pixels were auctioned off on eBay for about $38,000 recently.
