Earlier today, DNJournal announced the sale of Prince.com – a brokered deal by Media Options, the same folks that brokered the sale of Pizza.net for a price between $1 dollar and $1 billion dollars.
Prince.com was owned by a Prince Andrew before the WHOIS for the domain went “dark” and was just sold for $235,000 – hardly a king’s ransom.
The princely domain name was apparently a wedding gift to Prince Nikolaos, second son of former King Constantine of Greece.
Prince Nikolaos was married earlier today to Tatiana Blatnik.
The wedding was held in a monastery near the old port of Spetses, one of the many Greek islands of the Argosaronic.
Blatnik, 29, arrived in a horse-drawn carriage and waved to a crowd of well wishers gathered outside. The 40-year-old Nikolaos arrived by boat, while we were not invited, unfortunately.
Congratulations to the new Prince of Greece, although Greece actually ceased being a kingdom in 1973; the Royal family of Greece is of Danish origin and ruled the land of Aristotle between 1863 and 1967, when then King Constantine was overthrown by a military coup d’état. Since 1974 Greece is a Republic.
Hope the seller didnt skimp on his asking price….
I don’t see the 100% thing so I am to take this as fiction? Pardon me, I get confused some times
I didnt read. I guess he did. Oh well. Always hold your ground.
Mike – I hope the broker got a handsome cut 😀
Shane – Life is stranger than fiction, don’t you agree? The timing, impeccable! 😀
I work with Andrew from Mediaoptions closely and after one too many glasses of vino Andrew shared with me the following ~ Pizza net didnt sell for cash at all, It was sold for a four seasons deep pan but the seller had to pay delivery charges !
Also
Prince.com was actually sold to “TheArtistFormerlyKnownAsPrince” as he wishes to resort back to “Prince” as he has finally realised “TheArtistFormerlyKnownAsPrince” is way too much of a mouthful.

Lucius,
Maybe you need a second version of the 100% True Image.
This second one would have a Big Red X through it showing that it is not 100% true.
…but may be part true and part parody.
A third one for 100% Parody?
Tric – actually, I don’t need several images. The model works just fine. When people aren’t sure, it adds to the mystery 😀
“Tric – actually, I don’t need several images. The model works just fine.”
You’re the boss and you have the “Guns”. 🙂
I heard the name was sold to the Burger King. Seems he’s been giving some ladies a little too much beef and one of those ladies has a bun in the oven.
Adam – A Prince can be a pauper if he pays a king’s ransom 😀
This guy isn’t a prince anymore than Prince or “The Artist Formally Known as Prince” is an actual prince. It will be interesting to see what this “royal” does with his website. Maybe his wife can design some “royal jewelry” for the Home Shopping Network and sell it from their newly acquired website.
