Mario has always been fascinated by the world of celebrities. He had a keen interest in news, rumors, and gossip and always seemed to be in the right place at the right time.

He borrowed the scandalous name Perezhilton.com from the well-known socialite Paris Hilton. Mario's intention was to make blogging seem like an easy job. Relying on his intuition and sharp wit, he launched his controversial blog, and soon the project's name became his own pseudonym. Today, even those who don't know Mario Lavandeira have likely heard of Perez Hilton.

The blog gained immense popularity as millions of people wanted to know everything about the lives of Hollywood stars. However, this popularity did not come without controversy and legal battles. In order to captivate readers, Mario had to provide not only information about celebrities attending church but also shocking details about their personal lives. He enhanced his blog with scandalous photos and his own provocative comments.

As the number of website users grew, so did the discontent of some individuals. However, the criticism only added to the notoriety of Mario's creation. Soon, Perez Hilton and his project became known as the number one Internet celebrity. According to Forbes magazine's "The Web Celeb 25" ranking of Internet celebrities, Mario Lavandeira and Perezhilton.com claimed the top spot.

It is noteworthy that Mario, an openly gay individual who actively promotes his sexual orientation, writes extensively about the LGBTQ+ community and conducts investigations into the alleged hidden homosexuality of various celebrities.

Through his blog, Mario Lavandeira has earned millions of dollars. His project continues to thrive today, and advertising on his website is highly sought after. According to some sources, a single advertising placement on Perezhilton.com costs around $50,000. This is not surprising considering the millions of users worldwide who are drawn to the site's fresh gossip and detailed coverage of their favorite idols.

Mario has often mentioned that he earned his money by using his own intelligence and pursuing his passion.
