Some Remarkable Facebook Stats

Yesterday’s high in Facebook’s stock was one penny below the all-time high from October 25. Thanks to very good earnings, the stock broke that at today’s open.

Here are some remarkable stats on Facebook I got from Bloomberg and the Telegraph.

Mark Zuckerberg has made $7.5 billion so far this year, including $1.3 billion yesterday. He’s now worth $57 billion.

Remember when FB’s IPO flopped? It “failed” by falling from $45 to $18. Today, it got to $134.

“A million dollars isn’t cool, you know what’s cool?”

385,000 billion dollars.

That’s FB’s market cap, $385 billion.

In Q4, Facebook made $4.83 per person. For all of last year, the figure was $15.92.

Last quarter, mobile ads made up 84% of all FB’s revenue. “By some accounts, Facebook accounts for 43% of all digital advertising growth.”

“In the last quarter of 2016, Facebook signed up 72 million new monthly users – approximately nine a second.”
