No, I'm not talking about Mark Zuckerberg, pay attention to the boy next to him, in 2005 Alex Tew, 21, had the idea of earning extra money, because in the end he ended up with a million dollars.

Alex created a completely blank web page, with dimensions of 1000 x 1000, that is, a million pixels, so he contacted many advertisers and offered to advertise on his page for the modest price of $ 1 for each pixel.

The result? See for yourself

A web page purchased with 1 million pixels for advertising or whatever, 1 million dollars in total for having sold all the available space on your web page.
