A small but important note before the list… the numbers below are based entirely on publicly available information: investor statements, company websites, interviews, industry publications and other open sources.

I do not claim that this is an official, complete or perfectly accurate ranking. Domain portfolios constantly change, many investors do not disclose their holdings, and some portfolios are held through companies rather than directly in an individual’s name.

With that disclaimer, here are 10 of the largest domain portfolios for which I could find reasonably recent public information as of September 2026.

About the numbers

Andrew Reberry / HugeDomains — 5,000,000+

HugeDomains currently advertises more than five million domains available, while Andrew Reberry remains identified as a co-founder of HugeDomains.

Kalin Karakehayov / SEO.Domains — 220,000

SEO.Domains currently states that it owns 220,000 domains across its entire portfolio and identifies Kalin Karakehayov as Founder and CEO.

Mike Mann / DomainMarket — ~200,000

This is one of the strongest numbers on the list because it comes directly from Mann himself. In August 2026 he wrote:

“I have 200,000 of the best .Com domain names.”

Jonian Dervishi / Premium Domain Names — 50,000+

PDN.eu currently states that Premium Domain Names S.L. has a portfolio of more than 50,000 domains. Spanish corporate records identify Jonian Dervishi as the company’s sole administrator.

Angie Barrow / ANY-Web — ~50,000

Domain Name Wire reported in April 2025 that ANY-Web owned approximately 50,000 domain names. ANY-Web identifies Angie Barrow as its founder.

AbdulBasit Makrani — 12,500+

Another exceptionally fresh figure. In September 2026, AbdulBasit wrote on his own site:

“currently I’ve 12,500+ domains in my portfolio.”

Nathaniel Hunt — ~10,000

In a 2024 WIPO proceeding, Hunt stated that he made a living buying and selling generic domains and owned approximately 10,000 domain names acquired over the previous decade. This is slightly older than most figures on this list, but still recent enough to be useful as a public reference point.

Dennis Tinerino — ~8,000–10,000

A September 3, 2026 profile reports that the DomainSmoke founder currently maintains approximately 8,000 to 10,000 domains.

Rick Schwartz — ~6,500

Rick Schwartz’s own DomainKing website describes his portfolio as an empire of approximately 6,500 domain names.

Elliot Silver — 2,500+

In January 2026, Elliot Silver wrote that he had grown his portfolio to more than 2,500 domain names during 2025.


One more disclaimer

This list is not intended to be definitive.

There are almost certainly domain investors with larger portfolios whose holdings are private, divided between different companies or simply not publicly documented.

I have deliberately excluded several famous historical portfolio figures when I could not find sufficiently recent confirmation.

If you are mentioned here and the number is wrong or if you know of someone who should be on this list, please leave a comment with a public source.

I will be happy to correct and update the ranking.
