Sanmay Ved, a former Google employee was lucky enough to own google.com, the internet hub, for one minute. He bought the domain for $12 on September 29, 2015 and went ahead to own the domain for one minute before it was discovered and reversed.
Ved said he was up late browsing Google Domains, which is Google’s website buying service. While there, he discovered that Google.com was available for purchase at an unbelievable price of $12. Long-time readers may recall that Google.com is the most heavily trafficked domain in the world and is kind of a big deal.

“I thought it was some error,” said Ved, “but I could actually complete check out.”
Ved added google.com to his shopping cart and became a proud owner of the “internet” for one minute. He also began receiving emails with internal information, which Ved says he later turned over to Google’s security team.

“The scary part was I had access to the webmaster controls for a minute,” said Ved. Ved’s tenure as the LORD of the net was cool while it lasted, however Google Domains reversed the sale about a minute after the purchase went through and sent him a message that claimed someone had registered the site before he could. Ved was refunded the $12 the domain had cost him. Google however granted him a generous reward for the discovery of the bug in its Domains service. In a heart-warming twist, Ved said he would donate the money (“over $10,000”) to a charity
