Is Kelly Felix Known As The Rich Jerk A Poor Jerk Now?
Kelly Felix who is also known as “the Rick Jerk” is reported to be selling his online business which includes the domain name and rights to his "Rich Jerk" trademark. The selling price he's asking is $8,000,000. According to Jeremy Shoemaker, owner of the highly successful "Shoemoney Blog" (Jeremy has a picture on his site with an Adsense check of over $100,000), reports that the Rich Jerk is selling his online empire in order to avoid bankruptcy.
How can this be?
I couldn't believe this news because with all the publicity he got and traffic on his sites going through the roof, you'd suppose he must have made enough money. The news first hit my email inbox with an email by Holly Mann and then I visited the before mentioned source, Shoemoney's blog.
Included in the sale are his 2 offices. One of them is located in Carlsbad, CA, the other one in Thousand Oaks, CA. and the “Rich Jerk” name along with his three websites at:

Yes, I was really surprised by the news since the “Rich Jerk” has been doing late night infomercials (e.g. Howard Stern and some TV spots) and seemed to be doing well. It seems that you never know who you can really trust… If the supposed Rich Jerk is not even rich then I guess, he's just a "Jerk"!
Hi
My job for several years was dealing with alleged
bankruptcy of clients
People do this every day to draw in the extra exposure however rarely are the rich poor they have it well organised dissapear for a while and start again.
It is usualy the genuine small business owner who starts with nothing that looses everything because they are too honest.
I am not in anyway sugesting this is the case here as no one can comment on a case without the actual details and i sincerely hope all goes well for the person/persons involed.
However i only point out that it is not always what you read that is real after all we are writing about it now and all advertising is good advertising (allegedly):-)
