The web page gets straight to the point:

Then there is some description of Bob Manoukian, which also happened to be kind of the only info I could find on the guy besides one other paywalled Bloomberg article.

Clicking through to the home page, things only gets weirder.

So the guy is desperately poor and his plan to capapult himself into the ruling class is to attract the attention of a wealthy benefactor apparently. Here's another quote from the bottom of the page:

I hesitate: Should I show my blog or not... Art Center

That link gets you to his plans for his dream house.

I kind of relate, to be honest. Who hasn't fantasized about living in a palace? I know I draw out my crazy plans all the time, it's my favourite form of escapism.

The about page gets even more interesting though.

That's a pretty wild montage. It got me wondering if the guy has pages dedicated to other billionaires, you would think so, as this was a project that was apparently maintained for at least three years. I tried Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates but neither one of them came up, so I searched on Google instead, and bingo.

I clicked one at random, and it is what you would expect.

Pretty interesting. I hope his plan worked and that is why the blog is not getting updated anymore.

I don't mean to dunk on people like this but not sure what is a better comm to post this to.

    This person also has like over 600 subdomains that go to the corresponding page for every rich person who has an entry on the site, pretty wild

    The site is hosted by a hosting service provider "justhost.com"

    I'm surprised they could even get that many lol

    Edit: Or... at least they did... I posted that before actually trying to access one lol, my bad
