Facebook Goes Public: Are You Buying?

It's official. Facebook stock is now available. Mark Zuckerberg has had his poker face on for months as the public discussed Facebook's value and tried to predict how much Mark Zuckerberg is worth. Rumors suggested the company was worth close to $100 billion. On Thursday, they announced that initial shares would be worth $38. According to the BBC, that puts the company at $104 billion. When the market opened on Friday, Facebook shares were up to $42.

However, the media seems to be more interested in Zuckerberg's value. With 503.6 million shares in the company, at $38 a share, he was worth about $19.14 billion. Of course, that number is going to fluctuate now that his company has gone public, but you can keep track of his worth in real-time with The Wall Street Journal's "wealth-o-meter." As of writing this, he was up to $20.16 billion based on $40.04 shares. By the time we finished that sentence, he lost about a quarter of a billion dollars.
