Domain investor and entrepreneur, Frank Schilling, has always projected a bigger than human persona. In the days of ancient Greece, he would have been a demigod or hero, like Theseus or Jason, or a warrior like Achilles.
After selling his domain empire to GoDaddy for a ungodly amount of reportedly $100 million dollars, Frank Schilling has plenty of time to enjoy life.
The multi-faceted entrepreneur took on real estate development in the Cayman islands that involves luxury hotels and a Greek island style pier with shops. The Port Zeus marina is under construction but Frank Schilling’s Mykonos restaurant is already a destination of choice for Cayman islanders that want to taste authentic Greek food.
And now for the huge, really HUGE news: the 5 tonne, 20+ foot tall, 45 ft long Tyrannosaurus Rex made out of shiny metal commissioned by Frank Schilling is ready, standing tall at his rental property in Penticton, British Columbia.

Nicknamed “Alice” and the work of Chilliwack-based metal sculptor Kevin Stone, the T-Rex is of superhuman size, costing a total of about $395,000 Canadian dollars in labor and materials.
“I’ve always liked dinosaurs and I thought, well, maybe it’s time to build that giant dinosaur that I wanted,” said Frank Schilling to CBC Canada.
It’s an asset that combines art with Frank Schilling’s grand personality and unlike domain names, it’s here to stay.
