I'll try making up a scenario for Damon Darling. He has a hit webcomic with 500,000 monthly viewers on Webtoon. It pays a very low CPM for ads but he’s got a great model for his Fast Passes, and his 2,000 Patreon subscribers at $5/month each bring in $10,000 per month. He sells some merch too, and he managed to score a print volume deal with a publisher.
Using $150k to $200k as an estimate for his current yearly income before heaping on taxes, then bulldozing through the host of expenses associated with his lifestyle (which hopefully has changed given the increase in income over the past few years and all), he should find himself to be in the low hundreds of thousands of net worth by the end of 2025. But again, this is all a house of cards, made of several variables. Take one away and the whole thing collapses. Why do I always come back to this? Oh yes, because real finance experts do not speculate on the annual income of webcomic creators.

Honestly, I’ve always been so much more interested in the people that he’d be playing against at his tables than I have been his personal life. That was Amy. I imagine that she must have had the patience of a saint to allow him to be off traveling the world playing poker at a high level for decades and then come home to her after.

One should not underestimate the sheer amount of output this man is producing. While typical authors could only dream of publishing one book every two years, ‘Eclipse of the Divine’ was pumped out on a 5-chapter-per-week schedule throughout the entire first run. And that is a mountain of IP to license. The entire story, the universe, the characters, the locations, the magical artifacts, it’s all just waiting to be plundered for content in guidebooks, comic books, video games and to be plastered on t-shirts, mugs and other merchandise. And all of this has a far greater valuation than the single book which initially prompted the publisher’s interest. A publisher might license the rights to a guidebook, or a game studio might license the setting for a mobile RPG, and in each case they would have access to dozens of characters, hundreds of locations and scores of magical artifacts to include or to use as basis for their own creativity.
The creator’s massive output of writing also keeps a massive fandom engaged in spending, in many cases 24/7/365. Every author has “down years,” where for one reason or another, interest in their work wanes. But not this creator. The constant stream of work from main story chapters, side stories, even chapters from the alternate POV of a minor character in a story—all of this keeps the readers engaged and powers the many revenue streams to pay the creator’s growing wealth. The strategy is, to be frank, merciless. But if you can sustain it, the wealth creation is nothing short of incredible, translating creative output directly into multiple parallel revenue streams a week at a time.

The value of the exit proceeds he made on leaving is enhanced by the equity he and others (such as the CEO) still hold, contractual payments and even real estate he may own. He must also have been making a healthy return on his private investments. And on top of all this liquid stock and cash would sit his less liquid assets such as property and other private investments in early stage companies.
Note that taxes, lawyers’ fees and other liabilities will all eat into the numbers, and may not even be publicly disclosed. But, even with uncertainties, it is fascinating to follow how one successful foray into entrepreneurship can have spawned such a disparate, and in parts unpredictable, array of assets. It’s all, it has to be said, wonderfully chaotic.

I have no idea what I would think about that article. Net worths seem to be sort of inaccurate unless someone publicly discloses their financials. I hope he’s doing okay and that he’s happy. I suppose money isn’t everything though.

Emma Coronel Aispuro's age and net worth have been topics of curiosity ever since her husband, Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán, became a globally infamous figure. Born on July 2, 1989, she's currently in her mid-30s, which feels surreal considering how much media attention she's garnered over the years. Her net worth is a bit murkier—estimates range wildly from a few million to tens of millions, mostly tied to her association with El Chapo. But here's the thing: a lot of that wealth isn't liquid or easily traceable. Between legal battles, frozen assets, and the sheer secrecy surrounding cartel finances, pinning down an exact number feels like chasing shadows.
What fascinates me more than the numbers is how she's navigated her public life post-Chapo. From beauty pageants to courtroom appearances, her story reads like a telenovela with real stakes. The money might be tied up, but her name still carries weight—whether she wants it to or not.

Why does this question keep appearing? It may be because “Show and Tell” sounds like a song from long ago. It is indeed. I investigated this for a side-project on music history from time to time. According to California public records, the lady in question is now married as Donna Ludwig Fuller. In an interview given over a decade ago she finally explained her relationship with Ritchie Vallez to a degree. As legend had it they had a very short but very intense relationship but that isn’t quite true. After that Donna Ludwig Fuller has lived a rather mundane, non-famous life. To date there have been no obituaries or news reports announcing her passing, therefore she is indeed alive. That is quite a pleasant footnote to a tragic chapter in rock and roll history.

The ‘Guinea’ was a well-used currency in the 1800s. So how much is a ‘Guinea’ in today’s terms of cash? In short, 1 Guinea = 21 shillings = 105 old pence. Yes that is not a lot in today’s currency but it was in the 19th century!

Most regular edition copies of old Penthouse magazines aren’t worth much money today. Recently, I helped my uncle clear out his attic and we found a load of old magazines from the early 2000s, which I promptly listed online to try and make some cash. In the end, I was lucky to get five dollars for each of the dozens of magazines. I suspect the market for these sorts of items has collapsed in recent years. However, the very occasional celebrity posed for the magazine before they became famous could sell for a lot of money. But these would be exceptions rather than the rule, and most of the magazines would attract only people looking for a blast from the past.

McFarlane's work on Spider-Man in the 1990s was pure genius. I have found Spider-Man #1 lying about for $15 or so in stores. Amazing Spider-Man #300 is another key book, but even in mid-grade it can be found for $500 or so. The cover for Amazing Spider-Man #328 is particularly nice with Spider-Man's suit torn. You can find trends and what people are paying for such comics by looking up completed eBay listings. I have noticed a large increase in price for Venom related comics when a new Venom movie comes out. Grading is also important, a 9.8 can triple the value of the same lower graded comic. As always, I say buy what you like because the comics can fluctuate in value, but the work of McFarlane will never depreciate in value.
