It looks like the Rich Jerk isn’t so rich after all. Shoemoney just made a post that Kelly Felix (the Rich Jerk) is selling the Rich Jerk operation in order to avoid bankruptcy.
Then about 20 minutes ago a friend who I trust in the business who is pretty close to Kelly Felix says he is just about bankrupt and hoping to climb out of the hole and even make some profit. The source also says that Kelly blew a ton of investors money buying advertising on Howard Stern and fake commercials/tv spots to make it look like he was rich.
I tried to reach Kelly Felix for comment but have not gotten a response. I used to chat with him a bit on webmasterworld and some other forums back when he used to go by the nickname KellyandSummer.
The business is listed for sale at BizQuest.com with an asking price of $8 million. No detail was given on what kind of sales the Jerk brings in.
This is a multi-million dollar operation. Full financial details will be given to qualified potential buyers.
Also included is our registered trademark for the phrase “Rich Jerk”. In addition, we have many branded promotional items, including clothing. Our office equipment, including furniture, computers, etc., can be included as well.
I guess we won’t be seeing any “You’re a loser!” Rich Jerk Google ads on this blog anymore. That’s too bad. I always got a kick out of them.

Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...
