PrivateJet.com
PrivateJet.com is the only domain on the list that caters nearly entirely to the richest of the rich, providing luxury jet charter rentals for international business flights. It just seems natural given its purchase in 2012 was the purest sale of a domain name in history!
Nations Luxury Transportation, LLD, an Atlanta-based travel services company, paid $30.1 million for the name PrivateJet.com. It was purchased from Don't Look Media.com, an intellectual property holding company, in the belief that the new website will help attract high-net-worth clients. According to the corporation, PrivateJet.com would be utilized to establish a "destination website" for private jet enthusiasts, pilots, and passengers.
The company has stated that it expects to have over 250,000 monthly website visits by the end of 2012 — but that's where things get strange. PrivateJet.com redirected viewers to oceanfrontdomains.com, a website that claims to deal with digital real estate investments and acquisitions. We don't know what happened to PrivateJet.com; all we know is that the domain name was quite pricey in 2012.
Nations Luxury Transportation's CEO indicated at the time of the domain's sale that it would assist in revolutionizing the super-luxury market of Private Jet transportation.
Price: $30.1 million
