"\r\n\r\nAt least on paper, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is now worth more personally than all of online services pioneer Yahoo. Here's how the social networking company he co-founded some 8 years ago stacks up against other public technology and Internet firms at current market valuations.\r\n\r\nValued at $104.2 billion after setting its share price at $38 just yesterday, Facebook is currently worth:\r\n\r\n- a Netflix more than Amazon.com (market caps: $4 billion and $98,38 billion, respectively) - also see graph below\r\n\r\n- almost the same as Hewlett-Packard, Yahoo, Nokia, AOL, Adobe, Groupon and Research In Motion, combined (sum of market caps: $104.57 billion)\r\n\r\n- more than half of Google (market cap: $203.13 billion). Google reported almost $3 billion in profits last quarter, Facebook booked $1 billion in net income for all of 2011.\r\n\r\n- more than twice as much as e-commerce giant eBay (market cap: $50.4 billion)\r\n\r\n- almost 10 times as much as social network firm LinkedIn (market cap: $10.84 billion)\r\n\r\n- almost 43x what China's social network RenRen is worth (market cap: $2.43 billion) \r\n\r\n- approximately 4x what computer maker Dell is worth (market cap: 26.32 billion)\r\n\r\n- more than 93 times what Zillow is worth (market cap: $1.12 billion)\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nCrazy when you look at it like that, right?\r\n\r\nAlso check the NYT's amazing 'The Facebook Offering: How It Compares'\r\n\r\nNeedless to say, we'll have to wait and see how investors value Facebook when its stock start trading publicly today (around 11 AM Eastern Time).  \r\n\r\nEither way, this offering will give Facebook a mind-blowing market capitalization, and will put enormous pressure on Zuckerberg and Facebook's thousands of employees to make it worth much more than that in the coming years."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
