information Rick Schwartz values his domain name portfolio

[Lox]

Rick Schwartz, aka the “Domain King”, made a tweet describing his domain name portfolio and how he values his 7,000 domain names.

“I own 7000 #Domains 750-1000 of them valued over $100k. 150-200 valued over $1 Million+. 5500+ between $0 and $100k.”

When Rick was asked if he had domains that are not worth anything he said yes:

“Absolutely! I have domains that ONLY have value 2 ME. I have other domains I need to stop renewing. I have domains that were time sensitive”

Rick said that the prices given are “Based on my actual valuation. I use conservative numbers. Some I expect much more. It either meets a 7 fig threshold or not. 6 figure or not”.

I made a very rough and very conservative estimate on the value of Rick’s portfolio based on his rough valuation. So according to his valuation I estimate his portfolio value at more than $500 million. Maybe even close to a billion if we take the higher end of the valuation.

Here are some of the domains that Rick Schwartz owns:

Some absolutely fantastic domains .. and some insanely overvalued ...

iMurder.com at $800k? I wouldn't even think of purchasing that at $800 (no k at the end) .. end user price of $8k I couldn't even see. Heck I'd think even Murder.com would have a very difficult time ever getting $800k!

1.8M for both cheapest.com and middleman.com are way over as well.

Don't get me wrong .. some amazing names .. but some at extreme longshot prices .. if those evaluations represent the rest of the valuations of his 7000 domains, then that half billion portfolio value is at least 2x to 5x what it really should be. Still .. ridiculously amazing value in that portfolio!

I agree with you. Way overvalued for many of those. But that is how he rolls. He "anchors" value there. I own Manslaughter.com which is way better than iMurder, since it has a great commercial use (40000+ exact searches in US alone, as in any involuntarily killing people will seek the murder to be classified as manslaughter, but I would not price it for even 5% of what he has priced iMurder... Well, maybe I should ) What the heck )
