The web page gets straight to the point:

Then there is some description of Bob Manoukian, which also happened to be kind of the only info I could find on the guy besides one other paywalled Bloomberg article.

Clicking through to the home page, things only gets weirder.

So the guy is desperately poor and his plan to capapult himself into the ruling class is to attract the attention of a wealthy benefactor apparently. Here’s another quote from the bottom of the page:

I hesitate: Should I show my blog or not… Art Center

That link gets you to his plans for his dream house.

I kind of relate, to be honest. Who hasn’t fantasized about living in a palace? I know I draw out my crazy plans all the time, it’s my favourite form of escapism.

The about page gets even more interesting though.

That’s a pretty wild montage. It got me wondering if the guy has pages dedicated to other billionaires, you would think so, as this was a project that was apparently maintained for at least three years. I tried Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates but neither one of them came up, so I searched on Google instead, and bingo.

I clicked one at random, and it is what you would expect.

Pretty interesting. I hope his plan worked and that is why the blog is not getting updated anymore.

I don’t mean to dunk on people like this but not sure what is a better comm to post this to.

    Also the montage reminds me of a former friend’s desktop background. They turned into a pua incel fascist about 10 years ago, which I can only attribute to them breaking up with their girlfriend and having to listen to her get pounded by strangers for a year straight as they continued to live together. Before they really showed off their true colours and I cut them off forever, they showed me their desktop background which was a montage of faces from figures like Trump, Warren Buffett, Jordan Peterson, Andrew Tate and Elon Musk. Apparently it was for inspiration. I jokingly asked why I wasn’t included in the montage and he replied that I would have to be someone they would look up to have that honour. I thought that was pretty rich considering they are the type up person to produce their own cuckold smorgasboard. A little while later I sent them a communist meme and to my surprise they went off on a McCarthy style tirade, somehow also managing to fit in their endorsement for the Christchurch shooter in the midlde of their wild rant. This story is a bit irrelevant here, but I think about it all the time.

      p.s. one time there was a post about some manhole in some rural part of hawaii with some wifi signal and some random sketchy shit that I don’t remember the details of but which made it not seem like, you know, just a nuclear silo location or some shit like that, but something weird

      i wonder what that was about

    In the recent stonetoss doxx they were able to search for all domain names registered by this guy. I think they used some tricks to do it as presumably he had privacy turned on when he registered it. For some reason the page doesn’t load right now.

    edit: don’t forget https://web.archive.org/web/sitemap/https://crazybillionaire.org I just archive the Bob Manoukian page for the first time. Which means not many people have seen this site.

    The main page was very handcoded html/css but once you go to the About page and look at the source you see it is actually wordpress.

    Since it’s WP there is an RSS feed so I found another section of the site it looks like isn’t available from other entrypoints: Please comment on “My Plan - updated”. “Older posts” brings more.
