Facebook goes public this week. Facebook will
be valued at roughly $100 billion. Facebook will be the highest valuation ever
for initial public offering of a tech company. But come on…if Facebook really
worth this much money? Mark Zuckerberg turns 28 and becomes one of the richest
men in the world? The company is expected to start selling stock to the public
for the first time. The value of Facebook is over 100 billion making it worth
more than Disney, Ford and Kraft Foods. Once
Facebook begins selling stock, Zuckerberg will be expected to please a host of
new stakeholders, including Wall Street investment firms, hedge funds and
pension funds who will pressure him to keep the company growing. Young as he
may seem —especially in that hooded sweatshirt— Zuckerberg will be about the
same age as Michael Dell and older than Steve Jobs when those two took their
companies, Dell Inc. and Apple Inc., public.
