Is it normal to get $65mm in VC money for an online clothes store? Should I be trying to found a company like this?

If you can grow a profitable company with no debt (prior to VC), with a [reported] revenue close to $100 million (in 2012), sure why not.

Also, does one get to keep some of those $65mm (without risking jail, that is)?
