Jonathan Geller and The Boy Genius Report have been sold to Mail.com founder Jay Penske for "multiple millions".

A phone blogger makes millions scoring exclusive scoops of never-been-revealed phones. We're talking about Gizmodo and Jason Chen, right? Wrong.

Jonathan Geller is the blogger behind the modestly-named Boy Genius Report, a mobile technology news site that has a habit of regularly publishing leaked photos and specs of upcoming handsets.

Over the past three and a half years, the site has managed to score an impressive number of early hands-on reporters and blurry spy shots, growing into one of the biggest independent blogs for mobile phone obsessives. the site has covered the Apple iPhone, various phones by RIM, and others.

How big? The site averages somewhere around a million visitors a month. And according to Jay Penske, the man behind Mail.com, the company that just purchased the site, BGR is worth "multiple millions."

"Moving forward, CEO of MMC Jay Penske and I are partners on BGR, and I couldn't be happier," Geller added in a blog psot. . "This will allow BGR to grow enormously. From a more comprehensive and diverse editorial staff  all the way to the relaunching of BGR as BGR.com with new features and functionality, the site will advance dramatically and continue our mission: to break the biggest stories in this category possible."

Geller, the blogger behind BGR has largely remained anonymous on the site. The 23-year-old blogger got his start writing for Engadget, launching Boy Genius Report in late 2006.
