Mark Zuckerberg and friends are about to get even richer than they already are: Facebook was born almost eight years ago, developed and launched from inside a Harvard dormitory room. In a few hours, when Zuckerberg rings the Nasdaq opening bell, Facebook will become one of the largest and most valuable stock offerings in U.S. history.
Priced at $38 a share, Facebook is valued at $104 billion, the biggest ever valuation by a U.S. company at the time of its offering.

To put things in context, even before Facebook shares open for trading, its market value already exceeds that of eBay, Groupon, LinkedIn, AOL and several other companies… combined.
Despite the hype, however, many wonder if Facebook is actually worth the $104 billion they’ve been valued at. A look at the numbers behind the massive Internet force that is Facebook shows that the world’s largest social network is certainly a force to be reckoned with, but despite the numbers, many people, including Warren Buffet, claim that they won’t buy stock.
The following infographic presents some of the numbers associated with the Facebook behemoth, and allows you to decide the question of the moment for yourself: To buy or not to buy?
