According to the DN.com newsletter that was sent to subscribers earlier this week, TAO.com was sold “for over $1M.” The exact purchase price for this domain name was not reported.
Here’s what DN.com reported in its newsletter:
An interesting find-out, I assume everyone knows the sale of strawberry.com, which is brokered by the famous domainer Andy Booth. Andy is also a certified user at DN.com. If you don’t know the sale yet, see here. Anyways, the buyer of this domain name seems to be Fashion One TV. However, if you dig deeper, you will find out that Fashion One TV is owned by Bigfoot Entertainment. The founder of Bigfoot is Michael Gleissner, a film director, producer and a domainer. And Michael has owned the very valuable pinyin name TAO.com for many years, he recently sold this name through 4.cn for over $1M. Besides TAO.com, Michael also owns many other premium names.”
