Following yesterday's discovery of Aron Meystedt's sale of Tablets.com, we have uncovered another sale that occurred a couple of months ago.
The domain name in question is Chili.com, which was sold by an individual from Hong Kong. According to DomainIQ, the transaction took place late last year or early this year.
The buyers are Chili Cinema, an independent European company that provides legal video streaming of some of the latest movie releases. Shareholders in the company include Paramount, Viacom and Warner Bros, according to the company's Facebook page.
Chili Cinema has been operating on the domain name Chili.tv and while Chili.com redirects to their current site, it's possible that Chili.com will replace Chili.tv eventually. Incidentally, Chili.tv was acquired in 2014 for $2,588.
The domain name's seller told us that Chili.com was sold for a six figure fee, although he declined to give an exact figure. According to a screenshot from 2014, the minimum asking price was $220,000.
