They only made 1 billion?? Accel Partners made 5.5 bn

How much money did Bono from U2 make?

are you a parody?

Parody of who? I do like to think of myself as an intelligent humble man.

so, you think 1 billion is not much because few other companies who are specialized in investments made more? hmm ok and how many companies not specialized in investments made more than microsoft with facebook shares?

if sony would have made what microsoft made with facebook shares, would you have said the same or would you have said "great news for sony"?

There is a great possibility I wouldve said the latter, since they're in financial trouble a billion or 2 3 wouldn't hurt them.

aha and if sony wouldn't be in trouble you would have said "sony made only 1 billion?". you would have never said that. and i still wonder why 1 billion isn't much just because an investment company made more. i mean, it's not like microsofts job is to invest all money they have in companies. and even if there are few investment companies who made more with their investment (yes, no other software developer made more with facebook shares, only investment firms) microsoft is still one of the biggest winner on the planet if it comes to facebook investments.
