Success-stories on the internet

They're young, they're rich (come on girls!) and they own their e-companies:

- Mark Elliot Zuckerberg (born May 14, 1984) is an American computer programmer and entrepreneur. He attended Harvard University and founded the online social networking website Facebook (with the help of fellow Harvard student and computer science major Andrew McCollum as well as roommates Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes).
We don't know the exact amount of his personal fortune but at the age of 23, his company is valued at approximately US$ 15 billion...so we'll assume that he doesn't sleep in the streets...

- Not so young but immensely rich, no need to introduce...Bill "Microsoft" Gates.
He is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. Although he is widely admired,his business tactics have been criticized as anti-competitive and in some instances ruled as such in court.
On the other hand, Gates has pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors, donating large amounts of money to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, established in 2000.
The annual Forbes magazine's list of The World's Billionaires has ranked Bill Gates as the richest person in the world from 1995 to 2007, with recent estimates putting his fortune worth over $56 billion USD.

- Other exemples of success stories, but no so much as far as founders are concerned:
Kamini, a french singer who posted an amateur song about his village in the french region of Aisne, Marly-Gomont, on Youtube and met an unexpected enthusiasm...in may 2007 his CD came out and since the beginning of the year he goes from concert to concert...
So Internet may not have brought wealth in this case but fame and a new life...(see also the exemple of Lilly Allen in England)
