Sex proved that he is stronger than money. As reported by Bloomberg and other news agencies, the Wallstreet.com site has been a fiasco in the fight against porn.com for the title of the most expensive web address as of today.
Experts predicted that Wallstreet.com would “pull” more than 10 million “greens” at an auction that took place last week, but the auction ended at around $ 3 million, of which there was not enough because even the reserve price was not reached (about $ 5 million).
This means that pornographic sites still continue to occupy the most “weighty” place on the Internet. So, Porn.com set a record for web address this year. This site “went away” for $ 9.5 million. The absolute champion among web addresses is Sex.com, which is estimated at $ 12 million.

According to TopTenReviews.com, which specializes in web statistics, the global income of the pornographic industry in 2006 was at least $ 97 billion, almost doubling compared to 2003, when the figure was $ 57 billion. For comparison: everything Google’s sales in 2006 were $ 13.4 billion.
Korea is also one of the leaders in this sector. TopTenReviews.com claims Korea is the second largest porn market in the world. According to the company, every second (!) In the world spends $ 3,075 and 64 cents on pornography.
