How much money have people earned by selling real/virtual estate on “Second Life”?
Anshe Chung spun $10 into $1,000,000 in two and a half years. According to Second Life resident Anshe Chung , tomorrow she will issue a press release officially announcing that she has accumulated the equivalent of over one million US dollars in assets in Second Life. The bulk of these assets are in Anshe’s virtual real estate holdings, which now include 550 simulators supporting the equivalent of 36 square kilometers of land. In addition, her virtual assets include stock in virtual corporations in Second Life, several million Linden Dollars, shopping centers and other assets. The figure does not include the assets of her real life spin-off corporation, Anshe Chung Studios. What makes this achievement so impressive is the fact that Anshe accumulated her fortune in a mere 30 months, starting with an initial investment of $9.95 — her Second Life subscription fee. Anshe Chung Studios recently opened a new office in Wuhan, China, where it employs 25 people and there are plans to expand it
