With Facebook's market capitalisation up to $96 billion trillion, Li Ka-shing's 3% stake is worth $2.88 billion, and the return on investment is as high as 580%]facebook, who will laugh most happily? Founder Mark Zuckerberg is certainly doing the same. But other than Mark Zuckerberg, some of the early investors who invested in Facebook are probably going to be overjoyed, including Li Ka-shing. Facebook announced the IPO interval price of $28~35 per share and proposed to issue 337.4 million shares. If the IPO price limit is $35 trillion, the 27-Year-old's Facebook share will be worth more than $17.6 billion trillion, so that he will surpass Steve Ballmer, chief executive of Microsoft (Weibo), who is twice his age. Accel: Tens of billions of dollars Facebook's prospectus shows that in addition to the company's management and staff, 6 institutions and individual investors have a stake of more than 5%. The number one is Accel, which holds 201 million Class B common shares, with a stake of 11.4% per cent. If Facebook is valued at $96 billion trillion, Accel's shares are worth nearly 10 billion dollars. Accel is a venture capital firm whose investment in Facebook began in 2005 with an investment of just 12.2 million dollars. After 7 years, the more than 10 million dollar investment could reach $10 billion trillion. The American venture Capital association says the potential return that Accel's investment in Facebook will be equivalent to twice times the total return on Sequoia Capital and Kleiner Perkins's investment in Google (Weibo) in 2004. Of course, Accel's return depends on how it deals with its shares after Facebook is listed. Accel may sell some shares during the IPO, but may also lock in for 6 months as required. DST Global: Late-stage investment in Russian Internet Investment Corporation DST Global is the second largest shareholder of Facebook before the IPO, with a total of 131 million shares. DST has made a rounds of investments in Facebook, though it was later in the Facebook financing. In May 2009, DST invested $200 million in Facebook for the first time in 2010, another 5 million dollars in January 2011, and a joint investment of $500 million by DST and Goldman Sachs, which invested $50 million trillion in 500 million dollars. If Facebook is valued at $96 billion trillion, DST global holdsThe market value of the shares will reach 4.5 billion dollars. Dustin Moscow (Victor): A good roommate, Moscow, became rich because he met a good roommate, Zuckerberg. When he dropped out of Harvard with Zuckerberg, he set up Facebook, the world's most popular social networking company, in Silicon Valley. In 2008, the Moscow Invid, who left Facebook for a different idea than Zuckerberg, created a new company, but he still owns shares in Facebook. According to the prospectus, the Moscow dimension still holds 133 million shares, with a stake of 7.6% per cent. According to Facebook's highest valuations, the value of its stake in Moscow will reach $4.655 billion trillion. Goldman Sachs: joint investment in January 2011, Goldman Sachs combined DST Global invested $500 million in Facebook, with Goldman investing at $450 million trillion, but Goldman Sachs will then resell its $75 million stake in the deal to DST. According to foreign media reports, DST CEO Milner (Yuri Milner) contributed to the deal, and Goldman has a very close relationship with Mr Milner, who specializes in Internet venture capital, with 70% of its employees working at Goldman Sachs, The company also served as its main underwriter when DST's listed subsidiary, Mail.ru, was listed on the London Stock Exchange last November. According to Facebook's prospectus, Goldman Sachs holds 65.9472 million shares, with the highest market capitalisation likely to reach $2.3 billion trillion after listing. T.Rowe Price: Holding 6.0336 million T.Rowe Price is an asset management firm in the US, and its investment in Facebook began in April 2011, when T. Rowe Price invested nearly 190 million dollars on Facebook. These investments are not t. Rowe Price was the first to invest in the field, and as early as 2009, the company had been involved in the financing of Twitter. According to Facebook's prospectus, T.Rowe Price holds 6.0336 million shares, with the highest market capitalisation likely to reach $211 million trillion after listing. Li Ka-shing: Investment returns as high as 580% Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shing began investing in Facebook as early as 2007, with an initial investment of $60 million trillion and another $60 million trillion in March 2008. Li Ka-shing recently offered to the media that the cost of investing in Facebook has reached $450 million trillion. With Facebook's market capitalisation up to $96 billion trillion, the value of Li Ka-shing's 3% stake is up to $2.88 billion and the return on investment is as high as 580%. Li Ka-shing said, "Long and the department rarely invests in unlisted companies, Facebook is using my charitable fund early investment." I've invested in some new technology companies, and it's not necessarily Facebook that makes the most money. I think FACebook is very successful and is a long-term investment. As for whether Facebook will continue to hold its shares after listing, it is not possible to disclose plans for the future. "But because Li Ka-shing has not reached 5% per cent, the Facebook prospectus did not find the exact figures for Li Ka-shing Holdings," he said. Microsoft: Most of the most successful investments in Microsoft's investment ended in failure, and Facebook was probably the most successful capital investment. In October 2007, Microsoft invested $240 million in Facebook at $15 billion trillion, in exchange for a 1.6% stake in Facebook. Facebook was already using Microsoft's advertising services technology, and Microsoft hopes to sign an exclusive partnership agreement with Facebook. Now it seems that Microsoft's investment is certainly very sensible. After Facebook's listing, Microsoft will sell 6.56 million shares of Facebook, about 117 million to 230 million dollars in cash. After the Sell-off, Microsoft also held 26.2 million shares, assuming Facebook's share price hovered around $35 trillion, a share that would be worth more than $900 million trillion. That is to say, in less than 6 years, Microsoft's investment in Facebook gained more than 5 times times the return on investment. Thiel (Peter Thiel): The earliest angel investor Thiel was Facebook's first external investor. In 2004 he offered 500,000 dollars in start-up money for Facebook, which was valued at less than 5 million dollars, and accounted for a 10.2% stake. Although Thiel sold nearly half of its shares in the ensuing years, and the remainder was further diluted by Facebook's multiple rounds of funding, Thiel's stake still accounted for about 3% per cent. If the market value of 100 billion dollars after Facebook is listed, Thiel's stock is expected to be worth 3 billion dollars and return more than 6,000 times times.
