Holy Shiz, That's A Lot Of Money!

Filed under: Media Minute

Microsoft is in talks with Facebook to purchase a portion of the social networking website.

The selling price?

A whopping $500 million!!!!! For just 5% of the company!

When will we get an offer like that? We'd sell out for $250 million. A bargain!

I thought they were in talks to buy a small part of Facebook (as reported on CTV in Toronto today)?

Is Facebook going to explode? I think it could be another Internet fad. I hate it because so many of my co-workers have become giant slackers.
matt says – reply to this

51

They're actually looking to buy a 5% stake in Facebook for $500-600 million, which would mean that Facebook is valued somewhere around $10 Billion.

Microsoft is buying 5 percent of the company at $300-million - $500 million.

Makes overall worth of company roughly $10 billion.
Jamdez says – reply to this

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Facebook is negotiating with Microsoft to sell a stake in the hot social network at a valuation between $10 billion and $15 billion. That would net Mark Zuckerberg's company between $300 million and $500 million in cash, without Zuckerberg having to surrender any meaningful control over the company

The are only selling like 5% of the company to Microsoft

Rosie says – reply to this

62

Microsoft is NOT looking to buy Facebook, only looking to take a 5% stake for an infusion of $500 million in cash. That investment would potentialy valur Facebook at $10 billion, if you do the math!

They're only selling 5% of facebook, for about $500 million, valuing the company at about $10Bn.

Now way would they be allowed to buy it outright,

This story is mroe than enough PROOF that perez likes to twist around a lot fo stories. The real sotory is this: Microsoft Corp is talking to Facebook about buying a minority stake in the fast-growing online social network that could value the company at $10 billion or more, the Wall Street Journal reported on its Web site on Monday. Citing people familiar with the matter, the Journal said the world's largest software company sought to buy a stake of up to 5 percent in Facebook for $300 million to $500 million.
NightmarE D says – reply to this

76

Facebook, led by its 23-year-old founder and Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg, may insist on a valuation as high as $15 billion and is considering raising up to $500 million in cash to expand its operations, according to the Journal. Such a deal could help Microsoft better compete against Web search leader Google Inc for a growing base of online advertising and put one of the Internet's hottest names firmly in Microsoft's camp. Google has also expressed an interest in investing in Facebook, the Journal report said.

Microsoft is going to invest in Facebook. The stake they are considering makes Facebook valued at 10 billion. This website is a piece of shit, the end.

JanASS says – reply to this

88

With many more companies and organizations banning facebook I don't think it would be a wise decision for Microsoft to purchase facebook. It is a fad that will die out. But I guess they are willing to try anything to compete with Mac
