- Million Dollar Homepage - 1000000 pixels, charge a dollar per pixel – that’s perhaps the dumbest idea for online business anyone could have possible come up with. Still, Alex Tew, a 21-year-old who came up with the idea, is now a millionaire.
- SantaMail - Ok, how’s that for a brilliant idea. Get a postal address at North Pole, Alaska, pretend you are Santa Claus and charge parents 10 bucks for every letter you send to their kids? Well, Byron Reese sent over 200000 letters since the start of the business in 2001, which makes him a couple million dollars richer.
- Doggles - Create goggles for dogs and sell them online? Boy, this IS the dumbest idea for a business. How in the world did they manage to become millionaires and have shops all over the world with that one? Beyond me.
Read the rest. Some real stinkers that made money in there.

MDHP was a great idea, but honestly i am surprised that he got it going. It must have been difficult to sell the first spaces.

I totally agree, those were some of the dumbiest ideas. The bad part is they still made money.
