One thing that stands out from my findings is that the biggest websites have a lot of very rich people involved. This tells me two things, firstly, it takes a lot of people, and a lot of investment to succeed, and that when a site does take off, it takes a lot of people with it. The exception to this rule is number 1 in our list, and that’s Jeff Bezos. He’s made a remarkable amount of money, and remained the only person from Amazon on the list. He’s the richest person on this list, but that’s only because Google was a partnership between Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and if they had been a single person, they would blown everyone else out of the water.

The asian market have brought some really heavy hitters in the form of Tencent, Alibaba, Baidu, Rakuten. Rakuten in particular are experiencing a huge international growth as they try to expand into the e-commerce market around the world with the purchase of website such as play.com and the French priceminister.com.

Having researched every single person on this list, I feel like I know most of them pretty well now, and one thing I will say is that, for the most part, a good education has played a big part in their success. A lot of the people here went to very prestigious schools, or were naturally gifted from a very young age. That’s especially true for the younger people on the list, as the wealth of some of the people under the age of 30 in this list is really quite staggering.

To create a list of the definitive top 100 richest internet entrepreneurs would be almost impossible, as that sort of information just isn’t readily available, so this list is more of a selection of the richest public figures on the internet. There’s a lot to be learnt by comparing the ways, and the speed in which these entrepreneurs have made their immense wealth, so have a look look at the trivia section for more details.

29		Mike Morhaime	45	$1,800,000,000	Blizzard	Mike is on my list of people who changed the internet, because he not only created a game which was insanely popular, but he convinced over 10 million people to pay a monthly subscription to play it.

You know you’ve made it when you are on every single newspaper and magazine publication known to man, or even better when they have a movie about the birth of your company! There are so many ways to make money online, it could be a physical product that you are selling, maybe you create software and want to help those pesky spies from gaining government information? What ever your flavor of entrepreneurial streak may be, there are some sure-fire ways to make it in the online world.

Whats more, you can often start making money without even putting any in, although this will probably cause a slower return rate and lesser volumes but you could still do it. The truth is that any Tom, Dick or Harry could start a business if they really wanted to. BUT…there’s a catch. Of course there’s a catch, there’s ALWAYS a catch right? “Well, go on tell us what the catch is!” I hear you ask, it’s simple, you just need to know. You need to know what it is you are selling, how you are going to sell it and you have to know it has a reasonable value. There’s no good selling rubbish if the value is zero.

Also you need to “Know” how to motivate yourself, how to motivate others, how to hustle with the best of them. Let’s stop a minute and rethink this through.

In order to make money online you need to have qualities, and give quality to your customer, client or subscriber. Sometimes content is king, sometimes it’s the person behind the content. With that in mind I offer to you, the kings and queens of the entrepreneurial world. “The 30 Richest Entrepreneurs Under 30″…

Starting back in 2005 Aaron aged just 18yrs old created the website as a business project for college. The website came on in leaps and bounds through the college project and it was decided to bring the idea and project into the real world, Box.net was then officially incorporated that same year. The website business managed to gain capital from business “Angel” Mark Cuban, followed by some rather large sums of investment from third parties. The company aimed at helping businesses to share content and information internally and externally through their marketing and communication products and service.

#29 Dylan Smith – Aged 22yrs

Worth an estimated $7 million

Dylan is the second in command at Box.net, and currently resides as the CFO there. Dylan has been the go-to-guy in a number of other various start-ups besides Box.net. Smith is the right-hand man of Aaron and focuses his efforts more towards the sales, management and budget side of the business. Together they have so far managed to raise nearly $15 million in funding for start-up corporations. I can see this pair are going to be hard to miss in the coming few years. Watch out.

#30 David Karp – Aged 24yrs

Worth an estimated $5.5 million

David started the company Tumblr.com in 2007, with the aim to help anyone, share anything online. Sounds a pretty good idea, but who is actually going to use it? Well, 4.2 million of us is the latest estimation, so I think it’s not a bad idea at all. So far he has been handed $5.5 million in venture capital funding (so this personal fortune may now be more or less) and he has helped hundreds and thousands of users to share their content around the globe.
