- codfrantic 13y agoI remember him participating in the Gumball Rally in Europe in 2001 (Filmed by Jackass) in a Mercedes Benz S V12 Brabus, I'd guess a $900,000.00 car. So my guess is that he was quite rich before starting MegaUpload (founded in 2005) :-)
- Samuel_Michon 13y agoOh yes, he has been lying, bragging and hustling for far longer. In 2001, he told the NY Times his net worth was Euro 200 million. Obviously not true, but he did make at least some money by selling Data Protect to TÜV Rheinland. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/03/22/business/worldbusiness/22iht-btkim22_ed2_.html http://www.nytimes.com/2001/03/22/business/worldbusiness/22i... http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/01/kim-dotcom/ http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/01/kim-dotcom/
