The Most Expensive Domain Names Ever

Here are a list of the most expensive domain names ever, if you know of anymore please make an input.

A domain name to many of us is used so our customers can access our products or services or our information, blog etc, however to others domain names are a pure investment with the hope that another organisation or individual will want it that much they will pay an outrageous sum for it, or maybe not so outrageous; purchasing a domain name for only £2.99 - £4.99/year with a return of £1,500 is still a great return on investment, i have actually made a bit of money myself simply using trends and what i predict is going to be popular, you win some you loose some, a great tool for this is: - http://www.google.com/trends - all you have to do is look for trends based on keywords, for example I recently read the number of domain name reating to ‘Barack Obama’ had increased significantly.
