The
world's
#1 domain sleuth, George
Kirikos, has done it again. As
he reported on his FreeSpeech.com
blog Sunday afternoon, Kirikos
presented incontrovertible
evidence that a US-based insurance
technology company, Hippo
Enterprises, purchased the Hippo.com
domain name in the first quarter
of this year for $3,300,000.
With that, Hippo.com charges into
the top spot on the 2021
top domain sales list (we will be
officially charting it when our
next bi-weekly domain sales report
comes out Wednesday, September

sale eclipses the $3.15 million
sale of Christmas.com that
has topped our YTD
Top 100 Sales Chart

Fischer has also announced a 7-figure sale since our last
domain sales report - (Near.com at
$1.15 mllion) - there will at least two seven-figure
sales at the top on our next bi-weekly Top 20 Sales Chart, the first time
that will have happened in a year that has now had ten 7-figure sales
come to light.
