UPDATE: A viral website offering to ship your enemies envelopes full of glitter in the mail has sold for $85,000.

22-year-old entrepreneur Mathew Carpenter took home the massive payday after putting Shipyourenemiesglitter.com up for sale on website marketplace Flippa.

The site became a viral sensation after launching earlier this month, and Mr Carpenter claims the attention led to more than 2000 orders worth over $20,000 in just a few hours.

“I launched this website as a bit of a joke not expecting this level of attention,” he wrote to explain why he was selling. “Heck, I launched this website whilst I was on holiday!

Mathew Carpenter is now $85,000 richer.

“For the past few days it has been stressful dealing with all of the media attention and even more so because this was only intended to be a small side project. It’s taken on a life of its own, and I want to watch it continue to grow under a new owner.”

The buyer has not yet been identified but is believed to be legitimate.

EARLIER: Nothing says vengeance like an envelope full of sparkles. Just picture your nemesis covered in the stuff.

That’s the genius plan from the folks at shipyourenemiesglitter.com, whose website crashed this morning under what we can only assume was the weight of demand from the scorned among us.

The website promises “one letter, endless frustration” for the recipient and anonymity for the sender, all for just $9.99.

The website makes some serious promises. Picture: sendyourenemiesglitter.com

“We really dislike glitter, the website reads. “It’s in our clothes, hair, under the sofa and how ever many times you ever vacuum that carpet there’s still glitter left. Now you can spread this wonderful experience to a person you dislike. It may be your neighbour, your boss, or that idiot next door who can’t keep his TV sound down. We will send it in an envelope, together with a note describing how much their life is going to suck. The glitter will be hidden within the note, guaranteeing maximum spread as the victim opens to read it.”

The internet has offered its resounding approval. Michelle Hodkin, author of the New York Times best-selling Mara Dyer trilogy, wrote “I no longer have to kill off characters inspired by people I hate, thanks to this new service”.

Happy avenging past wrongs, people.
