A Malaysian man has turned a childhood purchase into one of the biggest domain deals in internet history.
Arsyan Ismail revealed that he bought the domain AI.com when he was 10 years old for just around $100, simply because the letters “AI” matched his own initials.
More than three decades later, he has sold the domain for a reported $70 million.
The buyer is Crypto.com founder Kris Marszalek, who plans to use AI.com as a gateway to a new AI-driven platform.
