This guy is a genius! He has succeeded in making a large sum of money in a very short time, with one of the simplest ideas I have ever seen.
Edited from his FAQ page:
The idea is simple: to try and make $1m (US) by selling 1,000,000 pixels for $1 each. Hence, "The Million Dollar Homepage".
So, everyone is welcome to buy my pixels, which are available in 100-pixel 'blocks' (each measuring 10x10 pixels). You will see the homepage is divided into 10,000 of these 100-pixel blocks (hence there are 1,000,000 pixels in total). The reason for selling them in 100-pixel blocks is because anything smaller would be too small to display anything meaningful.
As it currently stands, he has sold 999,000 of the pixels, making himself a tidy $999,000. The final 1,000 pixels are currently on Ebay and the price stands at $160,109.09 as of 13:50GMT today. There is still over a day of the auction left.
