This guy was getting bored and looking to make some extra bucks, he never would’ve thought he will make History. On September 29, 2015. Google accidentally sold its domain Google.com to a former Indian employee named Sanmay Ved via its own Google Domains service for just $12 and actually managed to get control of it for about 60 seconds before the company realized it was a mistake.
“The domain actually got added to my cart as seen by the green check-box, and the domain appeared in my cart,” Vad wrote of his experience in a LinkedIn post. “I was hoping I would get an error [message] at sometime, saying transaction did not go through, but I was able to complete [the] purchase, and my credit card was actually charged!”

If i was him, I might’ve died in minutes from the over excitement not knowing it will be taken back 60 seconds later.
