Does anyone know who this guy is? I saw him featured on an episode of House Hunters on HGTV (I have a thing for pretty house-related stuff ) He grew up in Vietnam in a poor family until his family came to the U.S when he was ten. When he was older he moved to Las Vegas and got into internet marketing. In that episode he was looking for a second home in Los Angeles.

    Internet Marketing on TV could mean a lot of things.
    Maybe he set up a leads capture website for people looking to buy cars and then sold them to auto dealers in major cities.
    It could be completely unrelated to what we do here. I noticed on TV they generalize things to make it easy for masses to understand.

    Wow, that is a really clever idea...

    you're right anyway. IM can encompass a lot of things. I was very curious as to what he does though. If he's doing well enough to buy a second home in L.A of all places then he must be very successful at what he's doing. And I'm always up for a good success story.

      He's BACK.
      Watched a new episode of House Hunters and he was shopping for a place in NYC. I wish I knew what he does specifically......

        I've seen both episodes as well and wondering if people knew of him. Turns out in his first episode it was stated that he received 1 million in his tax return at the age of 21. Who knows if that is fabricated or not, but still pretty amazing if true.

          You have to wonder if it is true when the only thing you can find online about the guy is his HGTV appearance.

            Actually, three appearances now.

            > First time, house in Hollywood as a vacation home from his Las Vegas residence.

            > Second time, house in Chicago.

            > Third, apartment in New York.

            So far, all anyone can tell is that he wouldn't know a good haircut if it bit him, he appears to have more money than taste, and he has a talent for landing on that particular cable show.

              Haven't seen the two newest episodes, and it's been awhile since I saw the original, so I can't comment on his haircut. Not that I would anyhow. The last person who should be commenting on someone's hair is me, Mr. Cowlick hair disaster himself, lol.

              He endeared himself to me when he and his designer RESTORED the vintage bathroom in his LA house, at considerable expense, rather than tearing it out and and putting in a monstrous *en suite*.

              Needless to say, you can see where my priorities lie. ;-)

    I love those kind of shows too. Unfortunately, I live in the UK and can't watch that show online and haven't been able to find it on the TV any where. I really want to watch it, too.

    As for this Tony guy, sounds like a great guy, even if he does have a bad haircut. I'm sure we'd all be able to learn something from him. However, he must love being on TV, because, even if you wanted and could afford homes in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, why would you need a TV show to help when there are better realtors in all three cities?

    Unless it's a marketing technique and he is about to launch a really high end coaching program...

    Never heard of him. But i did see a House Hunters episode that featured one of the late/great Corey Rudl's millionaire disciple.... Jermaine Griggs - the piano player. Was a cool episode.

      I know who he is.

      He's the guy behind "John Morrison" and the "Sports Betting Champ" products on clickbank. His domains have now been seized by Homeland Security for something, no idea what.

      He also was the guy behind the "rich16yearold.com" IM product.
