Less than six weeks earlier de Tezanos had sold his company, the ClickDiario.com Network, to Japan’s Livedoor Co., Ltd. in a landmark deal. It all happened just six years after he had dropped out of college, abandoning his plans to become a dentist because he had fallen in love with domains.

Isn't that amazing? And not only was he young, so was the domain industry! I think this shows that parenting has a lot to do with how you turn out, and that as long as you try hard, you can get anything you want. He got everything he wanted didn't he? He had none of the advantages that many of us take for granted, coming from a third world country. Amazing guy...

I'd say less than 5%.

I read recently that only 0.02 of domains will ever sell for $x,xxx. I'm not sure if that statistic was for all extensions or just .com's.

If my maths is correct that works out at 1 in 5,000. :td:

EEEK !! That's not too good odds :td:

But just think, that doesnt include $999.99 sales.

Yes but those kind of sales are in the hundreds. Those aren't life-changing sales...

I could do with a few of them just now !

I was about to say the same. They may not change most people's life, but a sale or two like that would definitly change mine!

1 sale a week like that would sure help my alcohol expenditure. :hehe:

Yuck! I'd probably buy a cellphone contract, cell phone, and an xbox 360. Typical teenage spending habits!

Great to hear it Taylor , Alcohol is a terrible vice unless you become old and disillusioned with life .

Well in theory there are an infinetly small number of "winners" as there are infinite numbers of domain names that could be registered, and with every new registration the market will become more dilute. Mathematicians view :P

(In reality I agree with prior posts.)
