Lets look at what people would make out with &#8211; Zuckerberg isestimated to own about 20% of the company, that would be worth roughly$20 billion dollars. Accel Parterns &#8211; the first venture capital fundto invest in Facebook &#8211; sold part of its stake, but still has a 10% ofthe pie, that&#8217;s about $10 billion dollars. Greylock &#8211; anotherinvestment firm 1.5 billion, again, these are are of course allestimates. Co founder Dustin Moscovitz slated for 5 billion. PeterThiel of Paypal, his stake estimated at 2.3 billion. Yuri Millner ofRussias Digital Sky Technologies $4 billion. Bonos venture capitalfund, Elevation Partners 1.7 billion,Shawn Parker 3.4 billion. And don&#8217;t forget this will turn an estimated1000 employees at facebook &#8211; into millionaires.
