I knew they owned a lot of domains, but I didn't know they owned this many:

HD has amassed an additional 555,669 domains since I started this topic 282 days ago.
They now own a total of 4,565,051+ domains.

As far as I know they are self-funded, started by two brothers. You can learn more about the company here: https://www.turncommerce.com/

Plus the cost for all the registrars (1500+?) to ICANN etc. The fixed cost per registrar should be about 10k. Renewal cost is currently $8.39 per .COM, but Verisign has the occasional promotion that might apply here. + $0.18 per domain to ICANN. + the acquisition cost for the domains they don't buy on their own registrar.

Yes, I inadvertently contributed to their inventory. 
See a few names that I let drop, are now listed for sale on their site.

Just a comment here....
I kept looking at a domain and after a number of visits the domain went up in price. It was an obscure Maple domain and I knew nobody else was really interested in it. So I refrained from visiting it for 4 years, checking only the whois to see if the name servers changed. Eventually they dropped it and I paid reg fee. Id memory serves me correctly I think they were asking $2,800 or so.
So in other words, I ONCE bested Huge Domains.
I wont tell you though that I also bought a number of domains from them....shhhhhh

Are companies like HD, or registrars, able to get data on the number of whois searches for a domain? If the whois search is done by third party?
I ask because I had the same train of thought before, and was doing whois searches rather than visiting the domain.
