Facebook IPO: Is a $100 Billion Valuation Cool?

One of the most anticipated events in .com history is finally upon us: Facebook has filed for its Initial Public Offering (IPO) and everybody is speculating about how high the company’s valuation will go.

We asked a couple of experts to shed some light on the matter: Professor Mark T. Leary, of Olin Business School, believes that at IPO the firm will have a total market value in the $80 – $100 billion range:

A huge fan of Carlos Miele, it was a pleasure to watch his runway show for Autumn/Winter 2012 during New York’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week where he brought out the gaúchas of Rio Grande do Sul.

Miele wanted to keep the gaúchas as an important reference point for his show for their eternal values and thus, opened with Kate King strutting down the runway as a contemporary gaúcha [Read more…]
