Ivan must be: no one that age could still be functional if he didn't own his own hospital.:-p
 
I know a member that's a millionaire. But he still won't buy me a Teddy Ruxpin. :cry:
 
I'm still working on my evil plan for world domination.

Given that Greg was only 17 when he made this site It's a surprise that he isn't a millionaire yet.
 
Given the amount of overtime I'm doing at the moment, I reckon I could be in with a chance by the time I'm 25...

Well, PF certainly has helped Greg make a small fortune; unforuntately, he started with a large fortune.

We're pretty close...a few more years. But that is because of a strategic move [20 year investment in remote local] and not a phenomenal income.

locale without the "e" - what was meant was location.
