I love the article comments. It seems everyone is a professional domain appraiser, successful webmaster, or dot-com millionaire.

because it's not HIS money... he's just the face of the company.

but he still has the most power over Digg of anyone... doesn't that give him some kind of money making opportunities?

plus he knows how to make a catch of cautious fiskeries.

More importantly, he can make his enemies' sites stay at the front page of Digg causing their server to crash.

Uh...Kevin Rose is hardly broke. He may not be as rich as people think, but he owns 30% of Digg and Digg makes about $3 mill a year in ad revenue + plus he'll get 30% from the sale of the company.

I'll trade my broke for his broke any day.
