According to a report, Schilling invested $60 million dollars on UniRegistry and his target is for the company to operate 54 gTLDs including [[.lol]] and [[.home]]. These strings are highly desirable and will definitely be auctioned by ICANN. [[Google]] previously announced that it will apply for .lol while [[GoDaddy]] and other companies are applied for [[.home]] gTLD. Schilling said that his company will try to get the strings through the auction. <ref>[http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57450838-93/here-comes-the-greatest-internet-landgrab-in-history/ Here comes the greatest Internet landgrab in history]</ref>
