What $22 Billion Can Get You: Facebook’s Acquisitions in Perspective

Imagine if your company had so much money that you could spend $22 billion on acquiring other companies. While this would only happen in most people’s wildest dreams, it is the reality for Facebook. In 2013, Honduras and Afghanistan brought in less money than Facebook’s acquisitions. The top 13 big budget blockbuster films combined only total $2.4B, yet that $22B in acquisitions is still $8B away from reaching Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth of $30B, which is less than half of Bill Gates’ $76B. But what else could that $22B have bought? Marketo breaks it down, putting things into perspective for us common folk, in the infographic below.
