The deal was made before the bubble burst here in the Netherlands and was completed after the collapse; the buyer paid the agreed upon price in cash and went on to be successful with it. It was a sign-of-the-times heavy Java (J2EE/EJB etc) enterprise XML catalogue/content management product.

Amazing that you managed to get set for life so early in life, not least with a J2EE product (though that was definitely the hot thing back then).

I am not quite set myself, but trying to :).
