Forbes Rich List meets Web 2.0

Online, June 29, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Good news for everyone who wants to be on top of a ranking list as fast and easy as possible. The solution is called RichRank and is the world's first ranking list where anyone can be a No.1, simply by paying the highest amount. "Anyone can create a personal entry - businesses that want to advertise and get traffic for their Websites, private people who want to present themselves or even those who simply like to draw attention from others and display their financial wealth to the world", says Matthias who came up with this business idea.
In short, the concept works like this: every participant pays an amount, free of choice (starting at 1 Euro) and thereby sets the value of one's entry. The one with the highest Euro value is ranked on the first position; the one with the second highest value is ranked on the second position and so on.

Competition for the rich

RichRank.com is not only appealing to those people who want to take part in an extraordinary competition, but also draws the attention of those who simply like to follow unusual ideas and who might ask themselves "How much did someone pay to be No.1?", "Who is it?" or "Is it still possible to earn some bucks with such a business idea?". The fact that any amount can be paid at any time makes it even more interesting to visit the Website.

Each entry, reaching the top rank, is perpetuated in the Hall of Fame, which proves that it possessed the exclusive gold status at least once. However, entry by entry, the top rank gets more expansive and thereby more exclusive.
Whatever amount any participant has paid to be shown on RichRank, at least 20 percent of the total revenue will be donated to charity organisations like The Red Cross.

Matthias got the inspiration for this quirky business idea one day when he was checking the Forbes Rich List and wondering how it would feel like to be ranked close to Bill Gates and the likes. When realizing that the way up there would presumably be almost impossible and that probably many others feel the same, he decided to simply make his own rich list - open to anyone. Now, the launch of the Website will be promoted on the Web more intensely, not only in the USA but also in Europe and later on in countries like Russia, China and Dubai.
