Looking through the history looks a bit suspicious. Even if the questionable bids were removed, it’s still likely to be 100k+ for the username!

Edit: Closer to $15k right now lol.

And they know the owner has money too.

Not after spending 50 mil on it

Anyone willing to spend $50m on an email address probably has more money than sense.

Until they spend 50 mil on an email address, then they have an equal amount of both.

If that person has a networth of...say, roughly 230 billions...that 50mil isn't even a noticeable change.
