Social media: Is Facebook really worth $50 billion?

And will its new financing scheme fall foul of regulators?

IN 2009 Rolling Stone described Goldman Sachs, an investment bank, as “a great vampire squid” that likes to stick its “blood funnel” into anything that can make it money. This week the squid inked yet another high-profile deal. Together with Digital Sky Technologies (DST), a Russian group, Goldman invested a total of $500m in Facebook, valuing the world’s most popular social network at a whopping $50 billion. The bank is also planning to set up a fund it will manage that will pump up to $1.5 billion more from wealthy investors into the company.

For Facebook, the deal provides a mountain of extra cash to invest in things such as new data centres and acquisitions. It gives it fuel for further growth without the hassle of listing its shares. For Goldman, the transaction represents an opportunity to stick its “funnel” into an internet firm that makes investors drool. As well as benefiting from any further appreciation in Facebook’s value, the bank plans to suck up fees for managing the new fund. And it is no doubt hoping that by cosying up to Facebook’s top brass it is boosting its chances of leading an eventual initial public offering (IPO) of the company’s stock. …
