opinion Is Rick Schwartz or Mike Mann the REAL Domain King?

[J.R.]

If you follow Mike Mann on social media, you may have been surprised to learn that he has officially declared himself the Domain King of the industry. This is a title held/registered by Rick Schwartz. Mr. Mann even went so far as to call out Schwartz' TM on the term Domain King proclaiming the title always belonged to himself. IMO, Mike Mann is the Domain King of the short hold. Whereas, Rick Schwartz is the king of the long hold...

Do you believe Rick Schwartz or Mike Mann is the real Domain King? If so, why or why not?

Rick registered 364 domains back in 2014 for the domainsherpa interview.

You may want to know what happened now in 4 years later?
The fact is
64 of them is now available.
None of them sold

He also just completed a million dollar deal on teem.com. Laugh all you want. When the king sells he knocks it out of the park.

The one with the biggest ego

The real king is Warren Buffet, he owns more Verisign stock than anyone else.

OHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh noooooooooooooooooooooooo

My eyes they burn at the thought

Neither

Lol

Someone registered pigeon shits and sold, also someone registered lots and lots of trademarks and no one could raise eyebrow.
More so, ignorance of recognition does not remove fame or status from anyone or care or no care; the king remains the king
Domaining is a very wide business it has lots and lots of niches and there are kings for each of the niche.
Do you know that this voting can make any of them king and so be it, but in my own opinion;
they are both kings on their chosen niche.
Cheers

i consider hugedomains king they are playing very well on big numbers
then sharjeel saleem he is master of domains
i like sharjeel saleem alot...
oh yes Booth brothers also in my list...

Clearly you don’t know about Erwan Kina and Sharjil Saleem - what happened to the $20,000,000 fund ? Was it ever actually used, and I can’t tell you how many LL.com and one word .com I presented to Sharjil, I had one person who in fact did establish a close deal with him but it was because Sharjil had found a buyer while we were waiting for a decision from him to buy himself. If you’re a broker, say so. If you’re an investor, say so. And if you’re both. Say so

As much as I appreciate the fact that you look at your words as self depreciating, they can be misconstrued when it involves a whole country or race of people.

Do not mean to offend anyone in anyway. I apologize to anyone who may be offended..
It is a saying here in the US that has been around since before I was born.
It just means "In the Middle of Nowhere"
Soldiers say it. Egypt is used because of the vast desert land, nothing to do with its people.

This is very important and serious so I don't appreciate all the joking around.

Frank Schilling is also a dramatically better domainer than Rick Schwartz, as are fellow retirees Mike Berkens, Kevin Ham, Yun Yi, etc.....plus HugeDomains, Braden Pollock, Ari Goldberger, Chad Folkening, on and on. So Frankie is going to win queen and Rick will be retired porn pawn in the chess game; was definitely genius to be first in line waay waay back with some .com when he was young and wise. Now he is random blog fodder and not sure what else is up; likely nothing bad.

Some last minute campaigning?

The numbers are favoring @Rick Schwartz

... long live the king.

Dear Mann,

"Domain King" is just a brand. You selling few brands a day should know better than anyone else.

The guy owns domainking.com and has staked his claim before you. So move on and find yourself another brand.
