Businessman Jon Schultz has reportedly sold Ebola.com for a whopping amount of 200,000 dollars, which he bought for 13,500 dollars in 2008.

The domain was in news for a long time as the businessman was hoping to sell it for 150,000 dollars, but the actual deal surpassed his expectations.

According to The Verge, the buyer is a Russian company called Weed Growth Fund, which is paying 50,000 dollars in cash and handing over 19,192 shares it holds in another pot-focused company, Cannabis Sativa.

Those are valued at around 164,000. Based in Nevada, Cannabis Sativa is led by two-term New Mexico governor Gary Johnson and aims to grow its business by marketing marijuana products for recreational and medical use as legalization becomes more common around the world, the report said.
