I used to operate a dozen or so small web sites. A spammer once offered me a crazy amount of money for the mailing lists. When I declined, he offered an even crazier amount of money to buy all the web sites, in their entirety, including mailing lists and social media accounts.

I ended up selling him the one web site that didn't have a mailing list and only rudimentary social media presences. I bought a new car and moved to a better city with the money.
