Sex.com site sold for around $12 million

$12 million. Can you even fathom? You don't even get anything - at least nothing physical. Just a domain name.

Good for him, though.

By the way, don't you love editors who don't understand what they're talking about? The sex.com site didn't sell at all, just the rights to the domain name.

what about binaryvisions.com. I hear that's a hot domain name too ;)
:nuts:

I still can't believe I freakin' sold that. Couple grand in my pocket but wasn't worth it in the long run.

i read yesterday that Steve Jobs blinked a few years ago, before iPodmania brought Apple deep into the black. seems he had a huge stock option program granted to him when he re-joined Apple, but the shares were underwater for a long time. he renegogiated to get a smaller package at a better price, but had he held out and not changed this, at today's stock price he'd be up an additional 2.5 billion.

he still made out ok on the Pixar deal, so don't cry for him.
