    I love stories like this, but I can help but feel like this kind of thing is mostly luck.

    He didn't buy the domain as an investment, doesn't sound like he took advantage of it when it was in his possession and seems suprised that it is worth so much!

    That is not to take any credit away from him tho, he deserves it and hope he enjoys it.

    Congrats to him, most of the good domain names are held by a few larger players in the market

    i wonder what site/service he used to sell the domain? My dad owns a one word domain that I think might be worth that much. I think he should put it up for sale
