So what’s the big secret, we all already know that John Ferber is a millionaire from creating and then selling his Advertising.com business to Time Warner in 2004 for just shy of $500 million. You can read more about that story on ElliotsBlog.com. The secret here, or at least until Secret Millionaire airs tomorrow night, is that John is one of the nicest, down to earth, generous guys I know. You know what, I’m going to add brave to that list. His show was filmed in Los Angeles, California, an area called Skid Row. From what I’ve seen and read Skid Row is in a very run-down part of downtown Los Angeles with a large impoverished population and a high crime rate. In fact, Skid Row has one of the largest populations of homeless people in the United States.
Guessing based on previous Secret Millionaire shows John will be giving at least $100,000 of his own money to a few lucky charities or individuals.
John not only leaves the show with a big heart, but street cred!
John is having a special viewing party tomorrow night in South Florida. My wife and I both will be in attendance to support fellow domainer and friend John and his charity. If you can make it come, and even if you can’t, donate! John is only asking that attendees pledge $20 on MicroGiving.com, another site John founded and another way for him to give back. I know this will be very inspiring for many of us see and can’t wait to watch the show tomorrow. Awesome job John!!

I almost forgot, John has been generous enough to lend out his South Florida mansion for next week’s Domainer Meetup. Visit SFDomainers.com for more information.
