The money he is giving away is all IOU and not real time, meaning that people that are winning money each month are just written down on a list and IF and WHEN he sells the domain then the prize money comes from the sale money of the domain. This is all a way to encourage others to promote his idea because if they do and get someone to buy the domain then they will get their prize money also, but if the domain never sells, no prize money is ever awarded.

Most expensive domain name acquisitions are done before the company goes public. Once it goes public too many people start asking why you spent so much of their money and couldn't you have spent it better.
Back before the internet boom went bust, Myself and another guy had a company doing due dillegence for venture capitalists - e.g. evaluating the business plan, technologies, architecture, etc. The VC's considered the set-up costs - including acquiring a domain name to be confidential and no one associated with the project could disclose costs. I do know of at least two domain names that cost well over $10 million.
Most companies now put more value on customer base and branding than on a domain name - either buy an existing customer base or put the cah into building your brand.

Saw this guy on the news, who, in order to pay for college sold one pixel on his homepage/dollar. Ended up making a million for it. Looks kinda fun

There's a few other sites around doing the same thing.
You'll also note that all the images are links - often to affiliate programs, and all the places he links to have link-backs to him - plus, everyone who buys a pixel usually links to the page.
Google PageRank = 7
