Rick Schwartz didn’t just sell AIReviews.com for seven figures and equity, he also broke the story himself.
The Domain King went public about the deal in late November, revealing that the domain he bought for $480 (actual: $490) in 2021 sold for $1.34 million plus a 9% equity stake in the buyer’s company on a long-term structured deal (LTO.)
According to reporting by the South Florida Business Journal, the buyer is AIreviews Corporation, a Delaware-registered tech company headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, co-founded by David Azoulay and Steve Churchill.
The company confirmed it paid $1.34M to acquire the domain name AiReviews.com and is positioning it as the flagship asset for what it calls the world’s first “dedicated AI review search engine,” slated to launch in early 2026.
AIreviews says its patented platform will aggregate reviews from across the web, feed them through AI, and then read them aloud so users hear a short list of pros and cons instead of wading through endless text.
Built “like Google, but for reviews,” the system promises universal review aggregation, AI summaries, voice playback, geo-matching for nearby businesses, and even auto-generated visuals. The startup plans to kick off its first fundraising round at the start of 2026 to scale the product and infrastructure around Aireviews.com.
The Domain King, Rick Schwartz, structured the deal as cash plus equity; AIreviews bought the category-defining .com for its consumer AI play; it’s another reminder that when a domain becomes the platform, not just the address, seven figures stop looking so crazy.
