Facebook representatives bet on the fact that they might get approximately 10 billion dollars once Facebook goes public and receives the initial public offer.
With a target of 10 billion dollars, through this IPO Facebook might get more than then any IPO ever got on the IT industry. The biggest sum so far as the one received by Infineon Technologies who managed to get 5,23 billion dollars and this happened back in 1999.
If we were to consider the fact that Facebook has 800 million users, this means that each Facebook account is worth $125. A source close to Facebook told the international media that Facebook might make the IPO by the end of the year but has not mentioned the exact date.
