This Tiny Island Country Won a Lottery in 1985, But Only Just Started Collecting Their Money.

So Anguilla is the 6th poorest country in the world with a GDP of $300 million dollars. That's about the annual income of the top 3 OnlyFans creators. But this makes sense, because only 16,000 people live in Anguilla. And until recently they couldn't export much other than fish, salt and concrete blocks.
But now they earn a surprising amount of money because of 1 lucky bet.
Cuz in 1985 the internet was just getting started. And each country was getting their top level domain. The UK got dot UK, Tuvalu famously got dot TV, and Anguilla got dot AI. Now, 40 years later, Anguilla is selling 21,000 new dot ai domains every month.

This is $45 million dollars a year so
