Microsoft buys Facebook stake for $240M - Yahoo! News
by Rattle at 8:23 pm EDT, Oct 24, 2007 |
Rapidly rising Internet star Facebook Inc. has sold a 1.6 percent stake to Microsoft Corp. for $240 million, spurning a competing offer from online search leader Google Inc. The deal announced Wednesday after several weeks of negotiation values Palo Alto-based Facebook at $15 billion
These deals keep having more and more insane valuations. I think Decius and I should start practice claiming that MemeStreams is worth four billion while keeping a straight face.. |

Why not?
Estimated number of active Facebook users = 50M.
$15B / 50M = $300 per user
Multiply # of active Memestreams users by $300 to get valuation. Probably a tad less than $2B tho. =) |
