Deals like this not only keep the interest of people alive but push it even further! This might help your domain as well since it has interesting keywords too! However, I believe that the worth of a domain is in the monetization plan that the buyer has in mind rather than what the seller asks for. For the company that has spent 10 million USD on the domain is definitely aiming the same amount to be generated from the domain every year or else how would they justify their decision to buy? They haven't done it on speculative purposes for sure. I hope that there are more of such deals every year as I am aiming to sell a couple of my domains, not for millions but yes, a couple of hundred thousands, hopefully :-D This is definitely good for the domain industry as a whole.
