2.VacationRentals.com – $35 million
These last two have a tight fight for the first place!
You have no idea just how close VacationRentals.com was from being the most expensive sale ever made among the domains, but you’ll see that immediately.
VacationRentals.com is the most popular website in its niche. Whenever you want to go on vacation and have to rent a property, you automatically go to VacationRentals.com as it has the largest selection of properties for every kind of budget!
Yes, the domain was sold for an outrageous amount of money, but what’s even more interesting is how the domain got to its new owner.
The actual president of VacationRentals.com, Brian Sharples, president and founder of HomeAway, bought the domain just so that Expedia wouldn’t get it! Unbelievable!
