What are the crazy ideas that made millions ?

in #life7 years ago (edited)

I remember the old story of million dollar home page. The guy who were a student launched a home page consists of a million pixels arranged in a 1000 × 1000 pixel grid and it were sold for $1 per pixel, eventually sold all of the pixels generating a million dollars of income.

I thought, what in the world is crazy than million dollar homepage until i heard the story of Pet Rock.

The Pet Rock

Million dollar homepage

Seriously, a rock sold for $3.95 as pet. The rock came with its own pet carrier- a custom-made cardboard box with a handle and air holes. (Not that a rock needed to breathe, of course.) Inside the box, the rock had its own bed of wood shavings to nestle in while it waited for someone to take it home. Lastly, the perfect pet wouldn’t have been complete without its very own, official training manual. 

What's crazy than this made a million dollar ? or what's your ridiculous idea of making a million dollar ?







Sort:  

I've heard about both this things. Absolutely crazy, but also not so crazy becausr many people are buying into it. I don't have a ridicilous idea myself, so no million dollar project for me. I'll just keep on steeming instead :)
