The sky-high price domain name ai.com priced at US$100 million, which may set a new record for domain name transactions

According to foreign media reports, veteran domain name broker Larry Fischer is seeking to sell a valuable domain name ai.com for an anonymous customer, with a quote of up to $100 million, which will far exceed the highest known domain name transaction record.

Fischer, 62, has nearly 30 years of experience in the field of domain name trading and has led to many high-priced domain name transactions. His success stories include selling Messenger.com to Facebook, Skincare.com to L’Oreal, Teams.com to Microsoft, and Chat.com to HubSpot co-founder Damesh Shah, who immediately reselled the domain to OpenAI.

The current owner of the ai.com domain was reportedly chosen to remain anonymous, but revealed that the domain was purchased only because it matched its own abbreviation, rather than foreseeing the explosive development of artificial intelligence technology.

Fischer said tech giants including OpenAI, Microsoft, Google and Meta, as well as cryptocurrency wealthiests, could all become potential buyers of this precious domain name.

The highest known domain name transaction record is Voice.com, which MicroStrategy sold in 2019 for $30 million. If ai.com trades at close to the quotation, it will set a new record for domain name transactions, and the transaction amount will be more than three times the highest record in history.
