Many of you are talking about $10B being a mind blowing number. For an individual to have that amount in cash hit their bank account, yes it is, but we're talking about a company with multiple founders and investors who all have a claim to that $, not to mention the lawyers fees, potential losses in value or SEC issues if part of the payment is in stock, etc. So it's not just one lucky guy living in his mother's basement waiting for a big payday.
