Buford, Wyoming (CNN) -- The population of the least populous town in the United States appeared to at least double Thursday when two mysterious businessmen from Vietnam won the tiny hamlet with a bid of $900,000 at auction.​

​

About a dozen bidders gathered around the town's one business to bid on Buford, Wyoming, which consists of a gas station, a three-bedroom house and a few small outbuildings on 10 acres along Interstate 80.​

​

The bidding began at $100,000 and quickly escalated. The winning bidders were immediately whisked away by auction officials, who would not let them speak to the media.​

Holy Cr@p - the mayor of Buford did well. Bet he's wishing he retired a while back so he had more time to enjoy this money. Bet he's surprised at what it fetched - I know I am.
