Hey guys,

The facebook IPO is pretty huge and like some of you may or may not know, MS owns a small part of facebook. They bought that back in 2007 for 250 million USD. With the IPO it is now worth 1 billion USD.

Have a look which guys made how much money with the facebook IPO here:

The easiest money MS just made

Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Technically they only made 750 million, which coincidentally is enough to make a bunch of Halo movies.
