Is there a list somewhere with domain transactions > $10M? Curious to get a feel for the (subjective) value. There is probably a correlation in price with number of characters, vowels, etc.

Other than a small portion, people might be surprised how LITTLE domain names go for; I was involved in the purchase of a three character domain on one of the original TLDs that was only in the $5k range.
If you can afford $1m for a domain name, you can afford to advertise your site on search queries that specifically name your competitors.
Squatters have a pretty strong HODL game, often lasting several years because it only costs $10/year for them.
Yes, there is a correlation between number of characters and price. There are many other correlations as well.
I know crypto.com was purchased for $12M in 2018
