The Guy who bought Google.com for just ₹800 (Literally) Read till end. This is a tale of inspiration ! It was late night in September 2015 and a former employee named Sanmay is browsing for domain names then to his surprise he found 🔗 :Google.com as available 💸: $12 (₹800 in that time) He thinks it's a glitch and purchases out of curiosity but the transaction was successful. Suddenly: ⭐️ He gets confirmation email ⭐️ He gets Google Search console which gave him access to internal settings ⭐️ Even he starts receiving Google team emails in his inbox He was the owner of Google Literally, later Google reverses his transaction but still he could have exploited the bug or sued them and could have demanded Google for hefty amounts but he didn't do that He gives them access back along with all screenshot, proof of purchase and access details and tells Security team to fix this issue for preventing future misuses 🌀 Seeing his polite and honest behaviour Google rewards him $6,000 but he refused to take it and told them to donate this amount to charity Google doubles this amount and donates $12,000 to charity for providing education to underprivileged kids in India Like and follow for more & What do you have to say about Sanmay, Do let us know below ⬇️
