Personally, I’m sitting on about a dozen domains. Most are either variations on my name or pseudonyms, but I also have a couple additional for things like my home and past products I’ve taken to market.

On the corporate side, I have dozens related to our past and present branding. We only us a small fraction of the total domains, but I purchase the extra domains partly to defend against phishing, and in part to reserve domains should we expand our footprint - say for example, implementing an EU-specific application to meet data residency requirements
