Most Expensive Domain Names

I was born, raised and currently live in Sofia, Bulgaria, EU. I am a journalist by profession and practice psychology for the past few years.

I started drawing in 1991, urged by strong inner need to recreate the reality beyond the usual – the world of forms and details… I have taken part in various exhibitions and my work is in a number of private collections. It can be seen at MarmiArt.com.

My drawings are created using mixed techniques – aquarelle, tempera, ink, pencils, etc. They are unique and have no names. Their eventual owners would give them names, effectively becoming a part of the process of creating them. Every one can charge their own drawing with one's own energy and identify it with one's self. Your drawing will repay generously, giving calm moments for reflection and meditation.

Many news agencies all over the world reported the story of a man named as Chris Clark, who sold the domain name of pizza.com, which he had purchased in 1994 for only $20, for $2.6 million.

It is amazing when people are ready to pay very big money for something that does not actually exist. Nevertheless, it is well-known that such domain names, which can stand for a whole industry, can be sold for millions of dollars.

Below you can find the list of most expensive domain names according to Yahoo! Tech. The list naturally includes the domain names that have been resold. It does not include such names as yahoo.com or google.com, which still belong to their original owners. As a rule, the market value of such domains may considerably exceed the value indicated below.

1. Sex.com, $12.5 million

2. Porn.com, $9.5 million

3. Diamond.com, $7.5 million

4. Business.com, $7.5 million

5. Casino.com, $5.5 million

6. Asseenontv.com, $5 million

7. Korea.com, $5 million

8. Wine.com, $3.3 million

9. Creditcheck.com, $3 million

10. Vodka.com, $3 million

Everything seems to be clear with sex.com and diamond.com. However, Asseenontv.com may cause bewilderment. Common logics says that the domain names consisting of only one word are supposed to be most valuable. However, there can be exceptions.
