The guy who put ebooks on the map and made click-bank a small fortune has put his empire up for sale for a cool $8,000,000.
Rich Jerk is a creation of ex actor Kelly Felix and it took the Internet marketing world by storm creating thousands of clones and that ugly little dude in the white suit. The original ebook was launched in 2005 and has spawned a collection of add on items including membership sites and even a range of t-shirts.
The business is currently listed on the BizQuest website and can be found here

His first offer for sale was $25 million! Then he dropped it to $8 million and then he put in on an ebay auction for $5 million…what does that tell you?
The Rich Jerk in it’s current state may be worth a cool mil…maybe. Nothing more.
Trust me guys…the so called “Rich Jerk Empire” has lost it’s luster. He barely writes in his blog anymore and that’s because he has nothing to say. After a while his ramblings about hot chicks, drugs and parties get real boring. You learn more from watching his marketing methods than from actually buying his content.
I bought a subscription to his new website and it sucks. He hasn’t made a solid update in 2 months. He just keeps talking about what he’s going to do, but does nothing. The majority of the people in his forum are asking for refunds and they are slow in coming. I didn’t ask for a refund because I wanted to give the guy a chance to redeem himself, but after I saw it wasn’t going to happen, I just canceled and told ‘em don’t bill me for another month.
He said in his ebay auction pitch that he believes The Rich Jerk could be a $100 million dollar company and that he already has a business plan in place that anyone can take over and follow through on that can achieve that. But if that’s the case, why sell?
All smoke and mirrors. BIGTIME!

I gotta question…
Whatever happened to the NEW infomercial that all the so called Rich Jerk Live Event attendees were supposed to be apart of?
Hey whatever happened to the Rich Jerk Live Event for that matter? How come nobody is talking about it? It was supposed to be sold out!
Why would you sell the company and none of the dvd’s of seminar footage, etc. has been released yet? Did it really happen? Tickets were supposed to be like $10-Grand a piece. He was pushing it like it was his last meal and then you hear nothing. What happened to all of that? It sounded like he was cooking up an EXIT STRATEGY. Grab as much cash as I can with a high ticket item and then close the doors. Or maybe a last ditch effort to save the company.
Now he’s practically begging for money for tickets to some party at the Playboy Mansion that has nothing to do with internet marketing. He’s asking people on his list to name a price that they are willing to pay for a ticket? This guy is desperate. Are you selling sex or internet strategies for making obscene amounts of cash?
Rich Jerk here’s a tip: Instead of spending $250,000 that you don’t have on a playboy party, why don’t you invest it in some REAL CONTENT on your evolution site where you haven’t made a real update in 90 days, besides the other content being basically worthless.
