Musk returns to first place!Take stock of the world’s richest men and their super domain names!

According to real-time Forbes billionaire data, Tesla CEO Elon Musk's net worth has reached $200.3 billion, currently making him the top-ranked billionaire. Musk has become the third billionaire to achieve a net worth of $200 billion, following Bezos and Arnault.

These business magnates have established massive empires and accumulated unprecedented wealth. Today, let's take a look at the premium domain names used by their companies.

1. Elon Musk

Elon Musk, the founder of renowned companies like Tesla and SpaceX, initially used the domain name "Teslamotors.com" for Tesla's official website when the company was founded in 2003. As the company grew, the original domain name no longer suited its brand's development. After 13 years of waiting and a hefty $11 million price tag, Tesla eventually acquired the more fitting domain name "Tesla.com" in 2016. Today, Tesla's market value is $778.934 billion.

Tesla has also secured Tesla.cn/.com.cn domain names, as well as brand-related domain names for the Chinese market, such as Chinatesla.com/.cn/.com.cn. Musk's SpaceX, which he founded, also uses the matching domain SpaceX.com. It's worth noting that Musk also owns the single-letter domain name X.com.

2. Jeff Bezos

Jeff Bezos, the founder of the e-commerce platform Amazon.com and the rocket company Blue Origin, has a vast domain portfolio. Amazon's official website domain is Amazon.com, and its Chinese website uses the domain Z.cn, which can also redirect to Amazon.cn. Amazon holds at least 5,000 domain names, including A9.com, AWS.com, "Amazon Logistics" FBA.com, zhuoyue.cn (卓越), Ring.com, and many more. Today, Amazon's market value is $1.68 trillion.

Amazon has even acquired domain management rights directly: In 2014, they spent nearly $5 million to acquire the ".buy" domain, in 2015, they invested $10 million to acquire the ".book" domain, and in 2019, Amazon gained exclusive management rights for the ".amazon" domain.

Over the years, Amazon's dedication to protecting its brand-related domain names has shown the intricate connection between a company's growth and its domain name strategy.

3. Bernard Arnault

Bernard Arnault, the CEO and Chairman of the French luxury conglomerate LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton), owns over 50 luxury brands, including Dior, Givenchy, Fendi, TAG Heuer, and more.

Louis Vuitton, founded in 1854, is a globally recognized luxury brand. Its official website domain is Louisvuitton.com, and the Chinese website uses Louisvuitton.cn. They have also secured Louisvuitton.net/.cc/.com.cn, Lvbag.com, and nearly 400 brand-related domain names for brands under their umbrella, such as Kenzo.com/.cn, Loewe.com, Celine.cn/.com.cn, Dior.com/.cn, Givenchy.com, and many others.

From the domain names used by these three world-class billionaires' companies, it is evident that they employ mainstream domain names that align perfectly with their brands. They also invest significantly in protecting numerous brand-related domain names. These domain names are not only concise, easy to search for, and memorable but also highly representative, allowing users to immediately understand their meaning and associate them with the company's brand. Outstanding companies have set successful examples through their practices. These facts demonstrate that in the internet age, premium domain names that align with the brand are intangible assets that have a profound positive impact on brand promotion, traffic acquisition, and corporate image. The awareness of protecting hundreds or thousands of related domain names is a key factor that has helped them build business empires and reach the pinnacle of global wealth.
