Do the 1% need their own top level domain name?
Just when you thought you’d seen it all…
A new offering from CentralNic called dotFamilyName proposes that the ultra rich should get their own top level domain name.
.Buffet, anyone?
The company pitches:
For as little as $500,000, prominent families will have access to the most prestigious and technologically advanced address located at the apex of the internet.
Hey, what else would you do with a spare half million dollars?
Although I think most of the value CentralNic will get out of this new offering is press, don’t be surprised if a couple people take them up on it — especially if they have a last name that could also be a brand.
I like the ring of .allemann, but I don’t fall into the ultra rich category.

It’s a new smart business model to pitch family names as a Status Symbol for rich and famous…so that the company can make fortunes by selling family extension names.
Just like selling multi million dollar penthouse, luxury super yacht and sport cars to rich and famous to make good fortunes…
