Vodka.com sells for a nice $3,000,000. Something to drink to!

Tuesday, December 19. 2006

The website Sedo.com reported that the domain name Vodka.com sold for $3 million. Sedo.com acted as the broker for the domain name transaction. The buyer of the domain name is a vodka company called Conglomerate Russian Standard Co. and owned by the billionaire Roustam Tariko.
According to the Geek.com article:

The company is better known for its Imperia brand vodka, which appeared on the U.S. market back in September 2005. In its home country, the company controls two-thirds of the vodka market and owns the country's largest bank, Russian Standard Bank.... It is thought Tariko acquired the domain through his company in order to continue the push of Imperia vodka in the U.S.
