The grid fills up as people and brands buy their permanent spot. When it's full, it's full.
In 2005, a student called Alex Tew had a simple idea: sell one million pixels on a webpage for $1 each. He made over a million dollars. The site still exists. The pixels are still there. Back then he had the news cycle on his side. Today we have TikTok.
Twenty years later, I want to find out if it can happen again. The goal is $1,000,001, one dollar more than the original.
A block of pixels on this grid, yours permanently, linked to your website. Your image goes up, your link goes live, and it stays there. Permanently.
Minimum purchase is 100 pixels ($100). You choose exactly where on the grid you want to be. First come, first served. Any company, any size, can get involved and put their name down in internet history.
The dead centre 100x100 block is reserved. Once 90% of the grid is sold, it goes to open auction. No fixed price. Whoever wants it most, gets it.
I'm Robb. I was about to buy a lottery ticket because it felt like the only realistic shot at making a million dollars, then I came across the original Million Dollar Homepage. That sent me down a rabbit hole. I wanted to see what a 2026 version could look like. The internet is a very different place now, and it felt like time for another million dollar time capsule.
The whole thing is being documented publicly on TikTok, from day one to however this ends. No matter how long it takes, I will keep posting every day. Even if it takes five years, I will see this through.
