Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg: The Kid Who Turned Down $1 Billion

Filed under: Posts

The 22yr old founder of facebook.com could be sitting on a potential gold mine that could be make him the next Silicon Valley’s whiz kid to strike to rich or he could become one more poster boy(like the founder of friendster) for missed opportunities if he waits too long to cash-in.Facebook Inc., is expected to generate revenue of more than $100million this year.He thinks there is more stuff in facebook that can be unlocked in future. Deep-pocketed companies are now angling for a piece of the web 2.0 action - a quest that has yielded couple of big jackpots.News corp paid about $580mn in 2005 for Myspace and Google paid about $1.5bn last year for video sharing pioneer Youtube. Facebook is still a niche site with an experience specifically targetting college students. One would be amazed to know the amount of time people who should probably be studying are spending over facebook making fun of the fact that they are spending too much time on Facebook(this is same with orkut).
