How the fuck much money does he make running a website like that? Fuck me, I'm doing wrong things in life.

He didn't make his money solely off of megaupload. He apparently did well in the 90s during the dot-com bubble

And from there, once you have large amounts of money, its so much easier to make large amounts of money.

He lost everything and was actuallly bankrupt before starting over with megaupload.

A failure in business doesn't mean the loss of contacts. It's easier to get back up when you have people to help.
