Marc Ostrofsky

From ICANNWiki

Marc Ostrofsky is widely known as a domain name financer who owns a corporate enterprise known as “Internet REIT”. He is the one that empowers the Google Ad sense programs for regular individuals to generate revenue based on the amount of clicks per ad on a user’s blog or website.

He created his enterprise with help from the most surprising people, Ross Perot and Howard Schultz who were both known as the founders of Starbucks Coffee. In the year 1999 he sold his website Bussiness.com at a staggering seven and half million dollars making into the Guinness world records books for selling a domain name website for such a large price (and this was before the Internet got really big). He was one of the original Internet successes before people like Zuckerberg came into the spectrum.


Personal Development

During this long and outstanding career Marc has molded and shaped many internet-based businesses into tip-top form, all of which specialized in telecommunications spanning across magazines, trade shows, and publishing agencies all of which would eventually be sold for another hefty price of eight million dollars. He has made it quite the habit to ‘found’ a company and to quickly sell it to the highest bidder; such was the continuing trend with his company Multimedia Publishing Co. which specialized in the same thing as some of his earlier corporation, he sold it for over thirty five million dollars, yet another stunning amount.


Ownerships

He has not sold every company under his belt; he currently has still onto a few websites of his own called eTickets.com and Cufflinks.com. He also currently holds a membership position as well as shareholder on the website Blinds.com; he made even more money through that site which bases its business around selling windows online to customers.

VeriSign, an Internet Communications site, became his next customer as he would start a company called idnames.com and sell it to the major corporation repurposing it as a division of the company giving VeriSign a much greater deal of success.

Because of all of these accomplishments he has been interviewed not only by local news stations and papers but also on the national spectrum being interview on major news networks and often times speaking at events across the nation. His continued patronage has inspired many “current day” domain web hosts take the same route he took in making their businesses an historical success.
