A former Google employee by the name of Sanmay Ved managed to become the new owner of Google.com for the bargain basement price of just $12.

On the 29^th September, Mr Ved was idly browsing Google domains when he noticed that Google.com itself was available to buy.

While Ved initially thought his eyes were playing tricks him, it turned out that the world’s most heavily visited web domain was actually for sale.

Sure that there must have been some sort of mistake, Ved added Google.com to his shopping cart, finalised the checkout process, and then suddenly found himself the proud new owner of pretty much the entire internet.

“I thought it was some error,” Ved said in an interview days after the purchase, “but I could actually complete check out…I was hoping I would get an error at sometime saying transaction did not go through.”

But Ved did not receive the normal set of emails he expected to get after buying a web domain. Instead, his inbox and Google Search Console began filling up with highly sensitive information intended to be seen only by the people still working at Google.com.

Sanmay Ved’s ownership of the world’s biggest web brand however was short lived. Within a minute of owning Google.com he was sent an email that canceled his order and returned his $12 with the message “saying someone had registered the site before he could.”
