It was all over the press: “Goldman Sachs invests $450 million in Facebook at $50 billion valuation”. Since it’s foundation in 2004 Facebook is growing seemingly unstoppable. In 2011 the company reached its current peak valuation at $50 billion. This makes Mark Zuckerberg worth approximately $12 billion.
But who are the other investors besides Zuckerberg and Goldman Sachs? There are co-founders Dustin Moskovitz and Eduardo Saverin, some VC funds, and even Bono of U2. However the biggest chunk belongs to the Facebook employees who own around 30% of the company worth $15 billion. Have a look at all investors here:

The questions, which remain, are: “Is Facebook the next big bubble and will Zuckerberg and Co. cash in before it bursts?”
