In March 2024, JMB acquired $8.5 million of intangible assets that included Gold[.]com’s domain name, as I just blogged:

Normally, I'd not share this research, given the widespread parasitic "journalism" in the domain name industry.....

Thanks for sharing (:

Gold.com seems like it would exceed $8.5 million by itself. It's extremely flexible and would be ideal for any provider of premium goods and services, and is very easy to remember.

Based on the SEC filing the domain was valued at $8.5 but the title of the article is a little confusing as it makes it sound like it was part of a bunch of intangible assets in the sale that in total were valued at $8.5.

I voted fair for both sides.

In theory it could sell for a lot more. But I also wouldn't be surprised to see it sell for less.

I figured even at $1mil wholesale that's a great return.

Well, that's as fair of a vote as I've ever seen...

In the body of the article, I did state the precise transaction price ($8,515,000) that came from the table on page 30 of the SEC filing, listed as "domain name". That was also in the Twitter poll, as noted above by Chris Hydrick. @Chris Hydrick

Does anyone else think a "golden" opportunity was missed in the interim when this powerhouse domain was parked with simply a "Coming Soon" page?

For awhile it forwarded to Kay Jewelers.

Yes, but the article title is still confusing.

This should be an 8 figures domain name . Big loss for the seller .. What is wrong with the seller to sell the best domain ever for 8M ?!

1930s was the gold standard. Puzzled, in 2024 what's the NEW standard?

Gold.com is better then voice.com ,NFTs.com , and even better the LasVegas.com ? The seller has no idea about domain industary !!
