Well I must say thats a well cooked up story. Orkut Buyukkokten, is a user interface engineer working in Google. Orkut was a independent project that Mr. Buyukkokten created in the "one day a week" that Google allocates for pet-projects. Of course if the "pet-project" is successful, the company will own all the intellectual property and technology. So no girlfriend issues there.

About Mr. orkut getting paid for everything u do on orkut.com. If by 2009 Mr. Orkut is to become richest person in world that means he will have at least 56 billion dollars (2007 worth of Bill Gates). That is he must get 14 billion dollars a year from google. For ur kind information google's current income is as below:

Google's Total Revenues(From all sources) - 10.6 b$
Net Income = 3.08 b$
(Reference - Forbes Global 2000 - 2007 List).

And it won't go above 15-16 b$ in next 5 years(Bussiness analyst review). So Google can't pay him this much. Also if u put common sense why will anyone pay that much for controlling a community site?
