The DNS was created in 1984 and in 1985 top level domains were defined. The first top level domains were COM, ORG, EDU, GOV, MIL and ccTLD.

In April 1985 cmu.edu, purdue.edu, rice.edu and ucla.edu were the first registered domain names.

The first .com ever registered was SYMBOLICS.COM on March 15, 1985.

With the exponential growth of the Internet some domain names brought their originally owners a fortune so here are some of the world’s most expensive domain names ever sold:

1. Insure.com: $16 million in 2009.
2. Sex.com: $12-$14 million in 2006.
3. Fund.com: $9.99 million in 2008.
4. Porn.com: $9.5 million in 2007.
5. Business.com: $7.5 million in 1999.
6. Diamond.com: $7.5 million in 2006.
7. Beer.com: $7 million in 2004.
8. Israel.com: $5.88 million in 2004.
9. Casino.com: $5.5 million in 2003.
10. Toys.com: $5.1 million in 2009.

A time machine could sure come in handy.

If you’re like me $20 – $40 on a pair of jeans is more than enough, heck I’d be happy in a $10 pair of shorts.

I can even understand a pair of Levi’s 501 jeans manufactured in the 1880s being purchased by a Japanese collector in 2005 for $60,000.

What I will never understand is the world’s most expensive jeans, so instead of writing some witty comments I’ll let the company’s press release speak for them, useful or useless, you decide:

and Head Designer, Jason Dussault, is pleased to announce the Company has

collaborated with Bloodline(TM) Design’s Malcolm Norman to design 2 pairs of denim

adorned with 18K gold, colored diamond, and ruby wallet chains, giving the jeans a total

value of $250,000 each.

There are two pairs of jeans. The first pair is a one-of-a-kind with a Marquis Rose Gold

wallet chain which is designed with 1080 grams of 18K gold, set with 16, 1 carat rubies

and 8, .05 carat color diamonds in the skull eyes and 26, .05 carat rubies on the daggers

and cross. The second pair is a one-of-a-kind with a White Gold Wallet Chain which has

1120 grams of 18K gold, set with 16, 1 carat color diamonds in the skull eyes and 41, .05

carat color diamonds set throughout the details of crosses and skull eyes.

Prototypes of the denim, worth $10,000 each, will be shown in two looks at Phoenix

Fashion week, and then displayed at retailer Kustom in New York and at the

Dussault(TM) flagship store, The Dussault Motel in Los Angeles. Each pair of jeans, and

corresponding wallet chain, will be recreated with semi precious stones. A bronze

prototype will be showcased as a recreation of the marquis rose gold version, and a silver

prototype will be featured in place of the white gold version.

Jason Dussault, Dussault Apparel(TM) Founder and Head Designer, has experience with

standout fashion pieces, often creating stage pants for many rock stars and famous

performers. His latest designs are featured in Nickelback’s European tour and on Criss

Angel for his Believe(TM) show in Las Vegas.

If you’re too cheap to buy expensive stuff and would rather hang on to your money, then just for you, we have some of the world’s highest denomination banknotes.

If you lived in Hungary in 1946 you might have found the 100 Million B-Pengo in your wallet, it never had all the zeros printed on it as there were too many but it would have looked something like this: 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 Pengo.

Now if you travelled to the United States with one of these in your pocket you would have been luck to buy a cup of coffee, it was worth only $.20 USD.

Also back in 1946 Hungary printed the 1 Milliard B-Pengo, that’s 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Pengo, but it was never released.

Had it been released and you took this baby to the United States your 1 Sextillion Pengo would net you $2.00 USD.

Although neither of these banknotes are in circulation any longer, they can fetch up to $200.00 from collectors.

Now let’s travel to the former Yugoslavia and jump ahead to December 23, 1993.

On this date to keep up with rampant inflation Yugoslavia issued the 500 billion dinar note, that’s a 5 followed by 11 zeros, but shortly after cut off nine of the zeros .

This is the highest denomination banknote ever printed with all the zeros on it.

Again, if you travelled to the States with this note you would have been lucky to buy lunch.

Although the American $100,000 bill doesn’t have that many zeros, it has enough to be the world’s most expensive banknote.

Unfortunately most people could never get their hands on one, not because of what they were worth but due to the fact that the bills were used for intra-government transactions and were illegal to own by citizens. The bills were discontinued in 1940, but if you had one now and weren’t arrested it would be worth $1,620,000 in 2010 dollars.

In case you’re wondering, that is a portrait of Woodrow Wilson.

The Scoville scale is a measurement of the spicy heat of a chili pepper according to its capsaicin content with 0 being “No significant heat” and 16,000,000 Pure capsaicin.

Bearing that in mind, Cackalacky Spice Sauce rates 1,000 and can be had for a mere $5.99 USD.

Nevertheless Cackalacky Spice Sauce is also the world’s most expensive hot sauce, it’s a special five-ounce autographed Cackalacky Collector’s Bottle from The Cackalacky Classic Condiment Company’s Single-Batch Private Reserve Stock and it will only set you back a cool $98,786.00 USD.

You do get some bonuses for your $98,786.00:

The bottle is signed personally by the specialty sauce company’s self-appointed “Ambassador of Good Taste,” Page Skelton.

Page and Chip and the international award-winning Cackalacky Cookout Crew will deliver the bottle to you personally.

They will throw you a ‘Cackalacky Pig Pickin’ for you and 100 of your closest friends.

While you eat you will be able to enjoy the music of The Cackalacky Ramblers.

Disclosure: All ‘Cackalacky Pig Pickin’ party people must be at least 21 years old.

Richard Jewels of Manchester and Stuart Hughes of Liverpool got together, spent 600 hours and created a suite, but not just any suite, the world’s most expensive suite.

The suite is made from the finest silk and cashmere wool with 480 half carat diamonds outlining the suite.

If the world’s most expensive suite is exactly what you need to make yourself look good then you’d better hurry as only 3 are being made and one has already been sold, a size 41 long.

Don’t forget to bring along £599,000 or just under $900,000.00 USD, taxes extra, to pay for the suite. If you’re on the fence about buying one here’s a little nudge as you can do some good; 10% of each sale will go to the Haiti relief fund.
