Online Beggar earns more than 83% of the world

Now we have beggers on the web as well but unlike traditional beggers, web beggers seem to be far more efficient. Beggr.com is an official 100% virtual beggar and the purpose of the website is to beg. As beggr states; ‘It’s all about the money, so can I have some of yours please?

I have visited beggr today after a long time and saw that it has accumulated 832.15 GBP in donations after being online for 9 month. That really surprised me, so I decided to tweak some numbers and see how well this beggr was begging. Provided that information on donation amount is true, I deducted that its annual income is roughly 1110 GBP(approx. $2105). That is allmost twice more money than I used to make while tutoring complex calculus during my second year in college. Anyways, then I entered his income to the Global Rich List, and found out that with such annual income beggr is among top 17% richest people in the world and ranked as 1,019,553,243 richest person in the world. But unlike me and traditional beggers who actually work regularly for the money beggr is far more efficient;

  • beggr spent only 1-2 hours setting up his begging efforts(amount of time needed to setup such website including logo design)
  • beggr doesn’t embarass himself by begging unlike other beggers

Given this begging happens online doesn’t sound bad at all.

(Update: Beggr went broke and no longer online)

    ‘beggar’ is spelled inconsistently throughout this web page. Note the body text spells it with an ‘er’ multiple times. Feel free to remove this comment.

    thanx David, I think it’s better if your comment stays, it’s neither spammy nor irrelevant. As about typos, I am thinking of integrating spell check to avoid them in the future
