I was looking up the ownership of a dot com name. It is a new genetic testing tool.

I was quite surprised not at the owner but the number of domains owned by the owner:

"Johnson & Johnson" owns about 32,218 other domains

Do you have other examples of Fortune 500, 100, or 50 corporate domain owners?

I think it would be a worthwhile thread to see what is going on in a different segment of domaining. Much like patents, trademarks, and processes - getting that domain is crucial to branding. But, how much of this bulk is defensive regs?

For instance, here is the results for Microsoft -

"Microsoft Corporation" owns about 34,782 other domains

Please post similar findings just for the heck of it. Perhaps good data can be used from this.
 
wow, interesting. you got this info via domaintools.com ?

Yup. Fairly accurate as I can determine (based on the numbers reflected in my personal accounts).
