 Topic: The Record Breaking Domain
Posted: 18 December 2005 at 4:50am |
Not sure if anyone has heard about Andres Kello who is attempting to break the record for most expensive domain name sold in the world. Anyway if interested you can check out an interview that I did with him in Episode #30 of my podcast 808Talk.

Actually I believe the guy will sell it. You definately have to listen to the interview. Also the current recorded record is 7,500,000 for the domain business.com

I thought Korea.com sold for 50 M. Maybe I confused currencies or mucked up my numbers when I heard it...

There is a lot of hearsay out there on the net as to how much a domain name has sold for. I have heard that Chicago.com sold for over 8 million USD, but what this guy is trying to break is the record that is recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records. To get listed as an official record holder you must provide 100% proof that you did indeed set or break a record. So maybe the other domain names that you and I have heard, never really sold for that amount, but instead were just hyped up. For business.com who holds the record at 7.5 million USD, to get listed in Guinness as the record, they had to provide clear and tangable proof. So maybe someone else did sell for higher, but for some reason or another they could never prove it. Hope this clears that up.

Well, I listened to the interview on your postcast this morning - and
I'm still not convinced that he can sell it for that much. It sounds
like a great goal, but honestly... I'm reading 'scam' on the site. He's
promising thousands of dollars in payouts, but I don't know where he's
getting the money. I really doubt that he's going to get that much in
donations.
Anyways... Just skeptical.
But I do like your show  ~!
