Shownotes Transcript

Ever wonder who owns all the internet domains like .com, .co, all the way to goofy domain names like .george and .plumbing? Well it turns out, many of these are owned by billionaires & big companies.

He has hosted $100M+ worth of auctions, keeping a 4% cut for himself along the way.
