The Coolest Dude in Domain Names
This is one of the best stories I have read in a long time!
Ron Jackson from http://www.dnjournal.com interviews Leland Hardy.

The Domain World’s Renaissance Man: A Ringside Seat With NewYork.com
He’s been a brilliant scholar, a pro boxer, a big time sports agent and a Wall Street wizard – and Leland Hardy is just getting started.
Born into an over-achieving family that excelled in academics, Leland Hardy simultaneously fit the family mold by learning multiple languages and earning a Wharton MBA and broke it as a professional boxer who became a close friend to Muhammad Ali. Boxing and becoming a Wall Street wizard are two disciplines that rarely go hand in hand. But that’s not all. Hardy was also a sports agent, representing several NFL and NBA stars, the business advisor to tennis greats Venus and Serena Williams and a business partner with rap superstar Master P. To add further spice to the mix, in 1994 he hand registered what would become one of the world’s most valuable domain names, NewYork.com, a name he continues to hold today (along with over a thousand others).
