With amounts ranging from almost a million dollars to US$636,000 to US$132,000, the following are the biggest known checks ever received from Google Adsense.

Markus Frind runs the online dating site, www.plentyoffish.com, with only one employee: his girlfriend. The site, now ranked by Alexa.com as the 760th most visited site worldwide, receives up to 500 million pageviews a month and makes up to $10,000 a day. According to Frind, the check represents his Adsense earnings for 2 months.
Payment amount: US$636,524.75
Website: Unknown
This does not necessarily fall under the list of “Biggest Adsense Checks” because the money was sent via EFT or Electronic Funds Transfer, but who gives a damn if the payment amount is worth more than $600,000? The check owner understandably does not want to announce what his site is, but for now, just drool at this check and the other check of his below.
The LCD TV that blogging bought
November 7, 2007
In the tradition of “The xxx that blogging (or Adsense) bought” articles popularized by other bloggers such as Darren Rowse (who bought a house), Abe (Mitsubishi Lancer ‘97), J. Racoma (Toyota Corolla GLi ‘97), Marghil (Acer laptop), and Markku (Asus laptop) here comes my own story: The LCD TV that blogging bought.
I’m not usually the type who immediately spends what I earn. I prefer to reinvest the earnings I get from Adsense, stocks, and mutual funds into other income opportunities so as to further maximize the return.
But this time, I decided to pamper myself and give myself an early birthday and Christmas gift. After encashing my $1,000+ earnings from Google Adsense via Western Union last week, I headed off to Abenson’s in Market! Market! at The Fort and bought this 32-inch LCD TV.

Fake or not?
