Shows the money that used to be made and the good businessman he and some others are. I'm sure there will be one or two who will do the same from porn. But who will make £950 ($1.5 billion). Do you see anyone in online porn only becoming a billionaire? Been more than one from a start in porn.

Richard Desmond's porn empire was always a small part of his publishing business. But extremely profitable.

Jack Sparrow I never said Tubes don't make sales, I never said it wasn't easy to do. What I say and will always say is those 7 sales could of been 70 sales. Without the tons of free porn availble for years the 7 would of been far higher.

As Damian says it's too late now. If there is a solution it lies in the product we sell. It has to really compete with what's available for free. The problem isn't creating the product. The problem is affording it. With the massive cost today of traffic, very little is left for the product.

Your up a stream without a paddle.

Well done, you made $105 on a 50% rev share. till $3150 a month is goint to pay the rent. Now you can tell us how you get $50 a sign up and prove to us the cost of traffic is too expensive.

Be honest, could you afford to host those films on your own servers?
Would love to know how they calc his "net worth"... most of it will be the estimated value of Northern & Shell.Judging from their 2009 financials published on their webpage, 8.5 million pounds in 2009 and 41 million in 2008. 2010 sadly not available yet. 13.7m pounds operating profit in 2009, 42m in 2008. Let's assume it got back to 2008 levels in 2010 (with channel5 and such added)... Then his networth is based on around 25 years of Northern & Shell operating profit...

If that's the case, yes, trust me, there is billionaire's in online porn net worth wise using those calculations.
