Facebook Quiz Millionaire

A story about how Ankur Nagpal made his first million dollars by creating viral Facebook applications while in college.

"I was in college at Berkeley and at the time Facebook released the Facebook platform where you could send gifts to people, answer quizzes and all of that. I built these viral Facebook applications starting from when I was 18 all the way to 20.

We created personality quizzes where you could answer a few questions and find out how good a kisser you are or which Friends character you're most like. One of the Facebook founders actually took that quiz multiple times - I know that because you get their Facebook user ID in the database.

We had millions of daily users and I was able to make a million dollars before age 21. The funny thing is I'm not gonna name names, but we could see which Facebook founder's user ID was in our database, and they really wanted to know their quiz results."
