Whats the most a website has ever sold for?

I was looking over how much Myspace and Neopets sold for and i began wondering what the biggest website sale ever was. Neopets sold for $160 million, what was the biggest sale you have ever seen or heard of?

 

youtube?
1.6bil

 

Just do a search on Google and you should know? Skype was acquired by eBay for $2.6 billion cash and eBay stock though Skype is not strictly speaking a website. It is more of a web service.

 

I tried searching google but all i found was irrelevent answers.

 

I think also the same way.

 

Im pretty Sure Youtube was sold for the most!

What is the most expensive website a member of DP has ever sold?

Slightly different slant on the question

 

Facebook was effectively valued at $15b by the proportion that MS bought of it.

Have never owned a website and sold it but we have developed sites end to end for up to $40,000 and I personally have worked on making $35m "tweeks" to existing sites (as PM... unfortunately Ast Sols wasnt the developers)

 

I sold 2 websites before for $2000 each.

 

Youtube is for now

But Myspace or Facebook will beat them if the owners decide to sell

 

broadcast.com was bought by yahoo for $5.7 billion, like in 1999

 

doubleclick

 

If the stories that crops up from time to time about Microsoft wanting to buy Yahoo ever come to fuition, I think we might have a new winner!

 

msft bought aquantive for 6.5bil?

 

Well I am just confirming the sale of my site! Hopefully $3000

 

I think youtube is the highest known one. There may be more higher but not publicised.

 

I think that's the highest.

MS offered Yahoo! $52b+ to sell, but the sale never went through.

 

The biggest valuation are on the stock exchange :

3 examples :
1. Google : 205.54 Billion

2. Ebay : 42 billion
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ebay

3. Yahoo : 30.95 Billon

This "websites" are "sold" on the stock exchange.
When they buy a website, they generaly buy it with stocks (and not cash).

 

This is a hard question to find a proper answer for because you first need to define what a website is. is eBay a website or a business? If eBay sold their website would there still be a company left behind after the transaction?

I think the question would be more interesting if we looked at it that way, otherwise we are just valuing companies that are online. Does anyone know of a website that was sold and the company remained separate from the transaction?

 

How much double click was sold for?
