BBC News : Virtual asteroid run as Entropia club sold for profit

"A gamer who made headlines when he bought a virtual asteroid for $100,000 (£56,200) in 2005 has sold it for $635,000 (£395,000)." ~ unknown

Although I must say I knew in part this would eventually happen, this is a bit unreal. I have heard accounts on the MMORPG front selling for a few hundred dollars, against the wills of the people who run them. The really amazing part to me is that he was making 125K annually from it as well. Note please that that was not in American money so it is more like $200K.
I must say I am in the wrong industry for making a huge living.
