First virtual millionaire is Anshe Chung

The Second Life game economic bubble could burst very soon despite hitting new highs with Anshe Chung being the first virtual millionaire. Anshe is actually a real-estate tycoon who made her first million in the game itself, whereby her holdings in a make-believe world can be legally converted into actual U.S. dollars that will amount to more than a cool million. We’re not sure if Anshe will be giving up her holdings so soon or hold on for higher returns in the future, but for everybody’s sakes, we hope that the Second Life will not end up as yet another Tulip mania back in the 17th century.
