IMHO the seller, Mauricio Botero, is the same guy who purchased it in 2006 from Symantec for $635k USD, as per @DNJournal: dnjournal.com/archive/domain… Wealthymen.com was one of his brands. His NS ns0.reflected.net, ns1.reflected.net until the 2022 deal.

Yup, indeed. BTW, my Due Diligence is always MANUAL, de visu.🧐👀. I never rely on third party elaborated data, or AI, which makes people dumber, addicted/dependent, slaves, if used wrongly or too much. Always local currency, FX conversion only if strictly needed.

I've digged by hand, much better😄: IMHO, ON Holding AG likely paid approx 15M CHF for On.com. Can @on_running confirm? Inferring from organic adds, i.e. around 1.1/1.2M CHF per year. Seller was likely a Mauricio Botero, from Miami Beach. Likely in 4Q 2022.

Congrats for the purchase of Economics.com!. Wasn't it for sale via NameCorp a while ago? Maybe a seller from Luxembourg? ... 😉 Now you have to put it to a good use. 😄
