During the NamesCon conference today, Escrow.com announced its Master of Domains winners. The annual award celebrates “the highest grossing domain name brokers for deals completed in 2022” at Escrow.com. Taking the top spot for this year is Andrew Rosener of Media Options. I believe Andrew has been Escrow.com’s top grossing domain broker for the past five years.
Here are the Escrow.com 10 Master of Domains:
For a number of years, I have created a domain industry Pan-Mass Challenge jersey to raise funds for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Many domain industry companies have supported my PMC ride this year with donations of $500 or more. I am proud to share the final version of the jersey I will wear on the second day of the PMC as I cross the finish line:
I am debating whether or not to order custom matching shorts to go along with the jersey. If I can get two more companies willing to donate $500/each to my PMC fundraiser before the end of the week, I will have the shorts designed and purchase them for the ride. I can add one logo to each thigh. The caveat is the logos will need to look good on a green background. Alternatively, I could make the logos white to stand out. Email me first before making your donation to ensure availability.
Once again, I want to thank the people and companies who generously sponsored the jersey this year. I also want to thank all of my other domain industry colleagues who have supported my ride.

UPDATE:
Thanks to Andy Booth for helping me raise an additional $1,000 for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute with the addition of two logos on the side of a matching pair of cycling shorts. The logos I will be wearing are:
It looks like I could probably fit two additional logo on the front of the shorts above my knees (one on each leg). This would raise an additional $1,000 for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. If you’re interested, let me know, otherwise I will send these off to get printed on Monday afternoon.
In March of this year, I reported on the sale of Chat.com. The domain name was acquired by HubSpot Co-Founder Dharmesh Shah for more than $10 million USD. The exact acquisition price wasn’t revealed by either party. That deal had been brokered by Hilco Digital’s Andrew Miller and Larry Fischer.
This morning, Dharmesh revealed that he resold the domain name for a profit, and he is donating $250,000 to Khan Academy:
This August, I will be riding in my 10th Pan-Mass Challenge ride to raise funds for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. I will be riding 162 miles over two days, from Wellesley, Massachusetts to Provincetown, Massachusetts. I’ve been receiving great domain industry support, and I appreciate it. So far, we have raised more than $9,000 when all donations are posted. My initial goal is $15,000.
On the second day of my ride, I will wear a custom jersey featuring the logos of domain industry sponsors who donate $500 or more. Historically, this custom jersey has generated the largest amount of donations for my ride. This year, Theo Develegas helped me design my jersey, and I think it looks great so far.
As of right now, there are at least 8 sponsor spots remaining. Three donations were secured after the design was sent to me and those logos aren’t on the jersey yet. I hope to send this off to the jersey maker (Jakroo) next week, so I can wear this throughout my Summer training rides.
Update: I think all spots are now taken. I will be sending this back to Jakroo to add the remaining logos. If there is anymore space, I will mention it on Twitter.
Thank you!

I went to the post office the other day to buy stamps. I had a brief conversation with the person working at the counter, and he asked what I do. After telling him a little bit about my business, he told me he had a funny story to share with me.
He is an artist and he created a cartoon character. He told me he tried to buy a domain name matching the name of the character, but the owner wanted $2,000 for it. He then pulled out his phone and told me he wanted to show me something funny. He found a screenshot of the email he sent the owner telling him he added “The” to the domain name and bought it for $.99. He also told me he turned down a $1,000 offer for that domain name from someone else.
