An anonymous crowdfunder is asking the Internet to make him a millionaire in 90 days — and people have already given him $12,000

Wemadeamillionaire.com launched on July 28 with one goal — get strangers on the Internet to make another stranger a millionaire within 90 days.  "You don't know who I am, where I am from, or how I'm going to spend your money," says the millionaire hopeful in the website's video.   Word has just started to get around and donations are already nearing $12,000 to date. In order to reach its goal, the site needs to earn over $11,000 every day until its October 25th deadline.  The project is described as a social experiment: The mystery person behind it will document the next year of his or her life if the goal of $1 million is met.  There are three different levels of donating: gold ($9.99), silver ($4.99), and bronze ($1.29). All that's offered in return is a photo and custom message on one of the site's "walls of fame." The website doesn't state whether "donations" (not pledges) will be returned if the project fails to meet $1 million in 90 days.   SEE ALSO: These are the things that keep millionaires awake at night DON'T FORGET: Business Insider is on Twitter Join the conversation about this story » NOW WATCH: 6 mind-blowing facts about Greece's economy
