In the Second Life economy, more than $600,000 changes hands every day. Now the virtual world is about to play host to a BBC show about that economy and how people have made real money from it.

Second Life's in-game currency, called Linden dollars, can be earned in a variety of ways. Some people, for example, hold down virtual jobs on the site while others sell unique clothing styles. Linden dollars also can be exchanged for cold, hard cash on the company's own version of the stock exchange. One Second Life virtual-real-estate agent recently claimed to have become the game's first real-life millionaire.
