MARK ZUCKERBERG IS WORTH ~$25 BILLION

Matt Lynley

Wow!

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg still owns 28.4% of Facebook despite the huge amount of money the company has raised, according to the company's S-1 filing.

That amounts to 534 million shares.

If Facebook is worth between $75 billion and $100 billion (we'll call it $87.5 billion), that's worth $24.7 billion.

How A Startup With No Revenue Can Be Worth A Billion Dollars

When Facebook snapped up Instagram for $1 billion last year, lots of people in the tech industry were baffled. Instagram had no revenue, but for some reason Facebook decided the company was worth spending a billion dollars on. Earlier this year, Pinterest sold $200 million in stock to new and current investors for less than 10% of the company, effectively valuing it at $2.5 billion. Pinterest still has yet to generate any revenue, but investors are betting that the social pinboard startup could be the next Facebook.

Sexting App Snapchat Is A Threat To Facebook, And It Is 2013's Most Likely Billion Dollar Startup (GOOG, FB, YHOO)

www.businessinsider.com Nicholas Carlson 137 days ago

Facebook bought Instagram for $1 billion last spring in a defensive measure. The main reason people use Facebook is to share photos, and Instagram was threatening this dominance on mobile, where consumer computer usage is going. Now there is a new startup that presents a similar threat. It's called Snapchat. It's an app where users send each other self-destructing photos. Teens use it to send each other provocative images, which adults call "sexting." Like Instagram, it's a mobile photo-sharing app, and it's come out of nowhere to grow like crazy. Facebook already tried to build a Snapcha... Read similar

Good morning, AdLand. Here's what you need to know today: Yahoo revealed in its quarterly earnings call that its display advertising fell 11% to $455 million.

Forbes annual billionaire's list is out. The list ranks the most powerful people in the world. The tech world is full of self-made billionaires including the youngest, Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg.

What's More Valuable: Facebook Or YouTube? (GOOG, FB)

www.businessinsider.com Jay Yarow 64 days ago

Google announced that YouTube has 1 billion monthly unique users every single month. This puts it in the same league as Facebook, which has 1 billion monthly active users. The two companies were started around the same time. (YouTube founder Steve Chen worked at Facebook for a few months before leaving to do YouTube.) Google paid $1.65 billion for YouTube in 2006 and it seemed sort of insane at the time. In retrospect it was pretty brilliant. Last year, Citi estimated YouTube would do $3.6 billion in gross revenue, $2.4 billion in net revenue, for 2012. That's much less than Facebook's $5 bill... Read similar

As we walked into Facebook headquarters today to cover the launch of its new Home app, we ran into Tumblr CEO David Karp. We chatted with Karp, who said he got out to the Bay Area from time to time—as he should, since the blog-platform operator has investors out here, like Sequoia Capital's Roelof Botha. Later, we spotted Karp having a chat with Zuckerberg. Then we saw Drew Houston, CEO of file-sharing startup Dropbox, talking to the Facebook CEO, too. Former Facebook engineers Aditya Agarwal and Ruchi Sanghvi, who left to found a startup later acquired by Dropbox, where they're now top ... Read similar

Mark Zuckerberg Has 68 More Shares Of Facebook Than He Did Last Month (FB)

www.businessinsider.com Owen Thomas 171 days ago

institutional investors

Mark Zuckerberg owns about $14 billion in Facebook shares—almost entirely in Class B shares, which give him voting control of the company but can't be sold like Class A shares. And indeed, he's said he doesn't plan to sell any of his stake for some time. So it caught our eye when Zuckerberg reported owning any class A shares—a grand total of 68. Zuckerberg received the shares, worth about $1,870, in two chunks from a fund controlled by Benchmark Capital. That fund, Benchmark Founders' Fund VI, appears to be a sidecar fund, in which Benchmark lets entrepreneurs friendly to the ... Read similar

Mark Zuckerberg Has A Really Good Explanation For Why Facebook Will Never Make A Phone (FB)

www.businessinsider.com Steve Kovach 50 days ago

Mark Zuckerberg kicked off his presentation of the new Android app Facebook Home today with an explanation why it doesn't make sense for the company to make its own smartphone. It boils down to this: Not including iPhones, even the most popular smartphones only sell about 10 to 20 million units. Meanwhile, Facebook has more than 1 billion active users. Why only give a tiny percentage of those users the best Facebook mobile experience? Or as Zuckerberg told Steven Levy of Wired: If we did build a phone, we’d only reach 1 or 2 percent of our users. That doesn’t do anythin... Read similar

It's a slow news day in the tech world, so here goes ... Recently, Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan vacationed on the Hawaiian island of Kauai.
