Winners of the Facebook IPO
May 18th, 2012 marks the day Facebook went public. After four months of paperwork and speculation, Facebook priced its IPO at $38 a share – making it the largest tech IPO in history and the third largest IPO ever in US history. At $38 a share, Facebook’s value will be pushed to around $107 billion dollars. Not a bad figure for the 28 year-old CEO who left college to start Facebook only seven years ago.
