Facebook is worth more than...

Whether it’s their free advertising, their ability to help your reach pretty much everyone in the world, or their ability to help your customers tell everyone in the world if you screw up or do great, whether you like it or not, Facebook has changed how we all approach business. We will have all heard about Facebook’s imminent IPO planning to raise $5 billion however what you might not have realised is Facebook is actually worth $100 billion.





This is a little section I’d like to call ‘Facebook is worth more than…’

Facebook is worth more than… 50 Naval Submarines (they cost about $2 billion each to build)

Facebook is worth more than… Brazil’s 2011 Travel and Tourism Budget ($74 billion)

Facebook is worth more than… The Gulf war (that cost $96 billion)

Facebook is worth more than… 6 years of US Breast Cancer Treatment  ($16.5 billion per year)

Facebook is worth more than… The Hurricane Katrina clean up (that was $81 billion)

Facebook is worth more than… 2 and a half Olympic games (Beijing Olympics were $40 billion)

Facebook is worth more than… Coffee (the worlds coffee industry is worth just under $100 billion)

Facebook is worth more than… 120 Eiffel Towers (about $820 million to build one in today’s market)

…and last but not least, Facebook is worth more than… Qatar (their GDP is about $98 billion)

Thanks to Mashable for the cool facts, and thanks to Bono (he owns 1.5% of Facebook)
