Don't worry, Facebook isn't planning to charge you for your profile. But according to Slate, you're already worth about $100 to them. How do they figure? Simple. With Facebook shares expected to be around $30 to $40 when its stock goes on the market, the entire company is estimated to be worth somewhere around $100 billion. Facebook also announced recently that it's close to securing 1 billion active users. That means users are worth an average of $100, according to Slate.
However, in reality, the company makes a fraction of that amount in revenue off of individual users. TechCrunch estimates $4.84 per user per year. The real value is in Facebook's growth, which has kept it a central figure -- the central figure -- in the social media game for years. It's that endless looming potential. Although, if it keeps growing, they're going to have to look beyond Earth for new users. Do you think your Facebook profile is worth $100?

Right--the only time I've logged into it in the past two years has been to unfriend this spamming jerk that I thought I'd unfriended a long time ago. Other than that I only log in to work on pages I'm involved with. I could care less about my profile.
More and more that I see this facebook crap, I am glad I don't have one.
Not any longe. My profile is almost blank and I've deleted most pictures and posts so there's not much value having me as a member, no personal data and habits to share with marketing agencies.
in fact!! it is priceless, if they want to make a buck off my happenings, that's an entire different matter
and if they want to charge me , I will bounce on this place like a republican Convention check LOL
Regardless of how much of our personal information they sell.
