Kate Donahue from Sedo was kind enough to give us a list of the 20 most expensive domain names, where they were actually sold, and what they are now!
With this list in our hands, we went through all of them to see where they lead.

(Visit these domain names at your own risk. Some contain material that could be considered offensive and/or popup windows.)
7 lead to simple ad pages (some of which are parked).
5 lead to communities of some sort (dating sites, etc).
2 lead to casino or poker related sites.
The remaining 6 are a mixed bag of portals, online stores and company sites.
Some may point out that Business.com sold for $345 million, and there may be other similar examples, but the ones listed above are stand-alone domain name sales and as far as we know don’t include an entire business as in the Business.com example.
