Google sells the domain name Google.com for… 12 USD

January 30, 2016 20:09

According to BGR, at the end of September, Google accidentally put the domain name Google.com up for sale. Sanmay Ved, the lucky person who bought this domain name for $12 (about 270,000 VND), later had to return the domain name after Google discovered its mistake and canceled his order.

Of course, both sides have kept secret the amount of money Google has to pay Ved, but recently the search giant revealed this number in an article on the company's official blog: 6006.13 USD (about 134 million VND). You may wonder why Google gave such a strange odd number, but the reason is very simple: the numbers above are the word "google" "written" in the language of the internet.

More notably, after Sanmay Ved announced that he would donate all of this money to charity, Google doubled the amount to 12,012.26 USD, or about 267 million VND.

This number was kept secret until today, when Google summarized its bug hunting program for its products in 2015. Google's statement said that the most successful technology expert of this program last year was Tomasz Bojarski with 70 vulnerabilities discovered, in which the most valuable bug was an Android bug with a bounty of up to 37,500 USD.
