Milk.com for Sale for $10 Million ?

According to Vice.com, the owner of Milk.com domain name wants to sell it if someone came with a $10 million offer.

According to whois records, the domain name was first registered in July,1994. The owner is Dan Bornstein, who said that if a buyer came with a serious offer of $10 million, he will sell the domain name.

Dan Bornstein said in an interview that, when he acquired the domain name, he never expected to be worth millions of dollars. His intention was just to use the domain name as an email address.

“The reason I got a domain at all was for email. Back in those days, everyone used their work email address as their personal address, and I was unsatisfied at work. I realized that I’d have to switch email addresses every time I switched jobs, so that’s why I got my own site. Once I had the domain I figured I’d might as well have a website on it,” said Dan Bornstein in an interview.

Asked if he wants to sell the domain name, Dan Bornstein answered :

“On the one hand, I’d love to say that I’ll have it forever and I’ll die with it. But on the other hand I do live in the real world and life is expensive. If someone came forward with a $10 million offer, and they were really serious, I’d probably go for it. I mean, that would be enough for me to retire on. It would make a significant impact on my lifestyle. It would represent a certain amount of personal freedom and it’d be hard to turn that down on principle.”
