...last month, rocker Keith Richards in the saggy buff, Seattle's Seth Warshavsky, 26, has made millions from his cybermall of adult websites. His members-only Clublove site boasts 115,000 subscribers, who pony up $24.95 a month for a variety of salacious fare. But he has also found gold in a bizarre array of pay-per-view Web events.

He stopped the panic of 1907 by raising the funds to keep tottering banks afloat, in effect acting as a one-man Federal Reserve System six years before the real Fed was created. He made plenty of money for himself in the process, of course...

"There are easier programs," admits Wholly Genes president Bob Velke, 36, "but they're nowhere near as powerful. This has all the power and flexibility that professionals need, but you don't need to be a pro to use it." (www.wholly genes.com or call 877-TMG-FAMILY...
