Pierre Omidyar has now earned about $3 billion from eBay, and still serves as Chairman in the Board. Oddly enough, he keeps a private weblog at http://pierre.typepad.com. These day there are literally millions of things bought and sold every single day on eBay, all over the universe. For every $100 used up online worldwide, it is estimated this $14 is spent upon eBay - that's a large number of laser pointers.
