by boy444 June 3, 2009 12:16 PM PDT: Beer.com, as a domain name, has an interesting history, too. Originally developed by internet entrepreneur William E. Fisher, a.k.a. BilFish, beginning in 1993, the Beer.com domain was sold in 1999 to generic domain name developer InternetRealEstate.com for $80,000 in a deal that left Fisher with a 20% stake in the domain name. Within months, the Beer.com domain name was flipped to one of the world?s largest beer companies for a cool $7,000,000, one of the highest prices ever paid for a domain name. The story was recounted by Mike ?Zappy? Zapolin, Chief Visionary Officer of Internet Real Estate Group and a keynote speaker at a recent T.R.A.F.F.I.C. domain name conference, as reported by DN Journal, The Domain Industry News Magazine.
