Man Asks Internet To Make Him A Millionaire – Internet Listens

Have you ever asked for money from a friend, relative, the bank, and been turned down? Well apparently you should just ask the internet

There’s no shortage of random stuff happening on the interweb, we all know that. So it’ll come as no surprise to hear that an anonymous person is asking people to give him/her money, in return for nothing – and they are actually doing it.

Apparently, it’s part of a social experiment – the goal is for strangers to make another stranger a millionaire within 90 days, and if they succeed the mysterious benefactor will document their life for a year afterwards. As Business Insider tells us:

You don’t know who I am, where I am from, or how I’m going to spend your money,” says the millionaire hopeful in the website’s video.

In order to reach its goal, the site needs to earn over $11,000 every day until its October 25th deadline.

Given that they’ve had $12k since the site launched on July 28th, and media interest is gaining momentum, they might actually make it.

One would hope he’d be a philanthropic millionaire and give the spoils of this bizarre experiment to charity, but something tells me it’s unlikely.
