Kevin Rose, former host of ScreenSavers on TechTV and Host of Attack of the show on G4 (for a short time), is a millionare now.

Apparently he created Digg.com, and he has been making money off it and he was on the cover of BusinessWeek couse he made $60,000,000 off of the site.

If anyone can find the article that would be great.

That was The ScreenSavers, pre-G4 Screensavers was awesome. AOTS has always sucked.

Yes, I know that. I cried when TheScreenSavers stopped and G4 (which has always sucked) took over with their Attack of the Show.

Only thing against Comcast is that.

yea the screen savers pwned, the only decent shows on g4 now are xplay (getting crap all the time) cinematech (no retarded actors and stuff, just game goodness!) icons (not too bad, all about the games and people who make em) and thats about it

Kevin also has some other great shows out that he's made just freelancing basically.

www.revision3.com

My personal favorite show is Systm, but they haven't came out wiht a new episode for awhile, too busy with digg i guess, lol.

edit: well looks like there is a new episode since the last time I checked it out. That show has some aweosme information, episdoe 2 and 3 are awesome.

That cover is a total lie! Digg or Kevin Rose are not worth the millions that the cover claims. Digg is speculated to be worth $200 million, but the truth is that they are just breaking even when it comes to Digg.com's finasing.

This article explains what's wrong with BusinessWeek's cover and/or article.

The belief that digg.com is worth $200 million is a speculated number, there is no proof it is truely worth that much.

Yeah but you can still find him over at This Week in Tech, better known as TWiT. If you have iTunes subscribe to the podcast (free) and you can hear Leo ever week.

I hate Kevin...he doesn't deserve the money he has. He's an *** in my opinion.
