To date, and according to Guinness World Records and MSNBC, the most expensive domain name sales on record as of 2004 were[3]:
- Business.com for $7.5 million in December 1999

The week ending January 27, 2008, DNJournal reported that CNN, a cable news channel purchased iReport.com for $750,000. This signifies another turning point in domain name sales. This name has neither organic traffic, nor does it have a dictionary term alone. Instead it is a highly brandable domain name utilizing the second most popular prefix for a "dictionary" and commercial word.
wow that's only the name that look so simple n useless but it has a lot of means and of course a lot of money too :)so do you wanna register a unique domain name too, and sell it to a famous company that has similarity with the domain name that you choose. might you get luck with that name. n good luck.
