Skint student's $1m brainwave

An internet brainwave has put a skint student on the way to becoming a millionaire in just four months.

Alex Tew planned to pay off fees on his degree course with his web page - made up of 10,000 tiny advert boxes.

But the idea took off so fast he is set to reach his target of $1million - £566,861 - by Christmas Day, reports the Mirror.

Firms buy a box on http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com for $100 (£57) which then directs users to their own website.

Alex, 21, of Cricklade, Wilts, said: "I have always been skint."

Weird... but I guess he made a lot of money off of it.

Fame is an interesting thing. I know (but not extremely well) someone from Raleigh named Clay. It seems that once the fame starts carrying you it's like a downhill run and it's all you can do to keep from falling. But what a rush

You're just bitter that you didn't think of it first. :lol:
