Maybe he's waiting for a better offer from MS or Google?

$1 BILLION I'd be all on that shit. How can you not live the rest of your life on that?

I have no idea what to say.


If someone offered me a billion dollars to walk from my company, I would take it, book my trip to space, and then probably begin changing people's lives with my contributions to progressive charities.


Asshole.

Next... wait for the posts about "what he should have done" and accompanied by "what he should spend his money on"

If someone offers 1 billion dollar, that means they think they can get good payback on the website. So why would it be idiotic to say no?

WHo cares if it;s worth 100X ties as much. it's $1 BILLION.

Ok say he go it all cash all at one. Even under our tax code that $650 MILLION after taxes. Now say he puts it all in a non interest bearing account. He can still spend $17,800 a day EVERY DAY until he's 122 which would break a world record for longest lived person.

I hope he made the right choice and doesn't commit suicide in a few years if the site loses popularity/value. But I doubt it will.

Even if he never invested or worked again he'd still be able to spend something like a million dollars after tax, every year, for the rest of his life.

Who knows, maybe he's greedy, maybe he's smart, or maybe he's planning to support other people and feels he needs more.

Does anyone know if facebook is currently returning a profit? Given time, it's possible he could net the $1b by keeping the company, and keep going from there.

His site got lots of potential to be exploited left... Don't count him out too fast. Way more revenue streams then myspace long term.

Yes, the man that built(in part) an online enterprise worth $1 billion is an idiot.

This is why I love GFY. Maybe one of you guys and your $20 webair virtual accounts can be his next competitor.

The guy's not an idiot. FB has been picking up a lot of the My$pace crowd recently, grows in popularity exponentially. I see him selling it within a year for more than $1b.
