Did you know domain names can sell for prices of up to $30,000,000? I will fill you in here on the 10 most expensive domain name sales ever reported.
Warning: Some of the domain names on the list below are of explicit content. They in no way reflect my thoughts, opinions or views. I am posting them for the purpose of reporting factual sales evidence. They are not meant to offend and are only listed for reporting purposes. For years Sex.com held the title for the highest all cash domain name sale at $13,000,000. Recently Voice.com overtook that #1 spot selling for a hefty $30,000,000 price tag to a blockchain startup called Block.one. Sex.com was sold once in 2005 and once in 2010 according to NameBio. Both times at a very hefty price tag. For the purposes of this article, I am going to use the DNJournal's reference of sales which only include the one sale of Sex.com at $13,000,000. The DNJournal verifies all of their data stringently, so using their data makes sense here.There have been other domain names that have sold for over $30,000,000. However those domains were sold with other items like a business or equity in another company etc.
