Man makes $2.6M for Domain Name

Chris Clark of Maryland received $2.6M for his domain name, www.pizza.com. If you don't think keeping a domain name that doesn't mean much to you think again, it might just mean something to someone else. Chris had the domain since 1994 and kept it maintained for as low as $20 a year. In the beginning the site was for a company he was trying to win over but kept it. Now after 10 years it has paid off, in fact it did more than pay itself off. Today, he's a very happy man.
