The
domain aftermarket continues to boom with end sales on
multiple fronts. Thanks to research done by George Kirikos (who
has found and verified more previously unreported sales, by
far, than anyone in the industry) two more seven figure
sales that were buried in 1Q-2026 financial reports have
been uneathed. On May 9 George announced the $7.5
million sale of Green.com on his FreeSpeech.com
blog. That is one of the 20
biggest domain sales ever reported (tying
Diamond.com at #17) and, in a sign of how things are exploded
over the past year, four of the all time 20 have been
reported since the start of year (full 2026
YTD Top 100 Chart here).

|
|
George's
second blast came in a May 11 post
on his X.com account when he announced that WeedMaps
had sold a domain for $1 million. He already knew what
the name was but challenged readers to do some research of
their own to see who could find it. @AbsReturn (AbsoluteReturn.com)
picked up the gauntlet and with the hint earned the honor of
sharing George's
latest find - HighLevel.com at $1 million
(also sold in 1Q-2026).
George
has exceptional financial skills so I think most have assumed
that knowing where to look had a lot to do with his ability to
find sales no one else could. So, it was a shock to ready
another post
on FreeSpeech.com May 11 in which he detailed his
entire process. It involves hour and hour and weekend after
weekend of incrediibly detailed research. A photo from his
notebook proves that a a picture truly is worth a thousand
words (I would say more like 10,000 in this case). Ifyou read
it you will come away with a much deeper appreciation for the
effort that has gone into making these sales public and
dramatically raising public awareness of the true value of top
tier domain assets.
The
release of sales like these are still the exception to the
rule as most remained goverend by NDAs. Consider this - Andrew
Miller confirmed that ATM Holdings has closed a deal for
another monster domain - IRA.com. Andrew can't reveal
the price bot on LinkedIn he noted, "there are about
$14 trillion in total IRA assets, representing roughly
30–35% of all U.S. retirement assets. That makes IRAs
one of the largest pools of investable capital in the
world.” It would be hard to overstate what the value could
be for THE definitive domain representing such an enormous
category. In another example, Zack Gabor at
Atom.com released several sales but had to keep
the $750,000 sale of a one-word .ai under wraps.
|
|
There
are also situations where we can tell you about important
sales in text but they can't be charted because the exact
price hasn't been noted. After Elliot Silver wrote
about finding a 2025 sale of MC.com in $2.7 million
range, Sedo's Dave Evanson posted this on LinkedIn,
"Confirming the co-brokered sale of
MC.com for approximately $3,000,000 with Sedo
representing he buyer and Saw.com representing the
seller. Congrats to all parties." The dénouement
however came from George Kirikos who posted documentation
showing he found the sale first but didn't publicize it (and
several others) due to issues with lack of attribuition or
plagiarism of his work. Indeed, he released Green.com to test
the water and see if the climate has changed.
Now,
getting back to sales we can chart there are many more good
ones this time around the track incuding four more in six
figures. A $695,000 sale of #3 Twig.com at Apex
Moon led that quartet. James Booth (DomainBooth.com)
filled the next two slots with Neo.ai - sold for $275,000
via Atom.com and Thunder.io - $179,995
through Afternic.
Those two started a great run for the ccTLDs, helping
them pile up 11 chart entries. With the non .com gTLDs
taking three spots, the .coms were limited to six but their
haul included the top three and a big win from the Total $
standpoint.
