Alex Rigopulos and Eran Egozy are the co-founders of the music gaming company Harmonix. These guys are so talented, they created two highly successful franchises with both Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Not only did their company develop some of the biggest games in the world today — they’re now ridiculously rich. And they’re not ‘video game rich,’ but ‘Hollywood A-list rich.’

Because of the sales of Rock Band — Which exceeded expectations, they received a pretty bonus from Viacom Inc, parent company of MTV Games. The New York based media company paid a combine $300 Million to both Rigopulos and Egozy. Which gives each of them a 150,000,000 big-ones.

With the endless amount of Rock Band games that will come out and the new Beatles version that was just announced, plus the downloads that appear every week — these two guys should be billionaires in no time. Boy, do we all suck…
