Facebook IPO to Mint Next Generation of Young Ultra-Rich Techies
By Stacy Curtin | Daily Ticker ¨C 19 hours ago
When Facebook (FB) goes public later this week, the next generation of ultra
-rich 20-something techies will have been created.
"You are looking at the potential of scores, if not hundreds of millionaires
," says Matthew Miller, editor for the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, a daily
ranking of the wealthiest 20 people in the world. Miller's estimate is on
the conservative end of the spectrum. In February, when the company
announced its IPO, many put the number of people to rake in at least seven-
figures at a thousand or more.
Of course, along with the newly minted millionaires will be a handful of
billionaires, including the just-turned 28-year-old Facebook co-founder and
CEO Mark Zuckerberg. According to the head-hunter Spencer Stuart, Zuckerberg
is half the age of the average S&P 500 CEO and has logged more time at the
helm than the typical leader.
The exact amount of each individual's net worth all depends upon where the
stock initially prices and eventually trades. Shares of the social media
giant are in such hot demand from investors that Facebook increased its
target range to $34 to $38 a share from the earlier range of $28 to $35 a
share in what has become the most anticipated initial public offering since
in 2004.
Using a share price of $35, now on the lower end of the spectrum, Miller and
his team estimate Zuckerberg will be worth a whopping $17.6 billion, which
makes him the 35th richest person in the world on the Bloomberg Billionaire
Index. That means Zuckerberg will be worth more than the GDP of some
countries and will have amassed more wealth than Microsoft co-founder Paul
Allen, Dell Inc. founder Michel Dell, Virgin founder Richard Branson and
even Donald Trump. (Editor's Note: This interview was taped ahead of
Facebook's move to raise its target IPO range.)
At #35 on the Bloomberg Index, Zuckerberg sits below founders Sergey
Brin and Larry Page who are worth $18.5 and $18.7 billion, respectively. But
if shares of Facebook pop well above $35, all bets are off.
"If you believe all the hype of what could happen to Facebook shares on the
first day of trading you could really see Mark Zuckerberg worth north of $20
billion by the end of Friday afternoon," says Miller.
The possibility exists that some people who own enough Facebook shares could
see their worth go up, or down, by a billion or two, almost in an instant.
Facebook Billionaires
Dustin Moskovitz, Zuckerberg's Harvard roommate and Facebook co-founder,
will have a stake worth $4.7 billion, using the $35 price per share target
set by Bloomberg.
Sean Parker, the former first president of Facebook and founder of Napster,
will own a stake worth $2.4 billion.
Eduardo Saverin, the Facebook co-founder who recently made headlines for
renouncing his U.S. citizenship (likely for tax purposes), will own a stake
between $1.2 billion and $2.5 billion, depending on how much of the company
he actually owns. Unlike the aforementioned Facebookers, his stake has not
been publicly disclosed but, according to Miller, it is definitely less than
5%.
Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's chief operating officer and one of the most
successful women in the world, won't be a billionaire at the $35 price
target. She has to wait for the stock to hit $37 a share or wait for some of
her 13 million other restricted stock shares to vest, which the Bloomberg
Billionaire Index does not count in its calculations. But it is not likely
Sandberg will have to wait too long to hit the billionaire mark, especially
with the new IPO target range between $34 and $38 a share.
There are of course other major investors slated to make a killing on the
IPO, including Microsoft, Paypal co-founder Peter Theil, James Breyer and
Accel Partners and LinkedIn's co-founder Reid Hoffman.
Even U2's Bono has a stake in the IPO. His investment firm Elevation
Partners has poured at least $120 million into the company.
Facebook Wealth Effect: All in the Family?
Edward Zuckerberg, father of boy-genius and a dentist by trade, owns 2
million shares of the company, according to CNBC. He was an initial investor
in the company.
Randi Zuckerberg, Zuckerberg's sister, was a Facebook employee until August
2011 when she left to launch her own tech start up. It is unclear how many
shares of the company she owns, but she was entitled to stock in the company
just like others in her similar position at Facebook.
Facebook's Wealth Effect: The Accidentally Wealthy
Like many tech "darlings" such as , Facebook did not have much money
in the early years and paid its bills in Facebook stock. There are some
people out there who could stand to make a fortune having never worked for
the company full-time.
Take for example graffiti artist David Choe. You may remember his story from
earlier this year when news of the IPO broke. In 2005, he was hired by then
-president Sean Parker to paint murals to cover the walls of the original
Facebook office. Instead of a $60,000 paycheck, Choe opted to be paid in
Facebook stock worth the same value having little clue how much those shares
would ultimately be worth. Today his shares are valued somewhere between $
200 million and $500 million.
When Facebook goes public, Miller believes there will be more stories of
people who essentially became a millionaire "overnight" for a service they
provided the company. "There is a real potential for that to happen post
this IPO," he says.
But wait, there is even more. Once Facebook shareholders cash in, there is a
real potential to heat up an already warm Silicon Valley economy.
Movoto Real Estate, located in the Bay Area, predicts the IPO will also make
a lot of "outsiders" very rich as the Facebook uber-wealthy shop for new
homes and in turn drive up property values. The company predicts a $1 to $2
billion dollar increase in property values, or roughly 5% to 10% per home,
in some of the trendiest areas of town.
In conducting its research, Movoto consulted an outside real estate expert
Carole Rodini, president of Bombay Consulting, who says this IPO will have a
more lasting effect on home prices than the IPO.
"What happened was from 2000 to 2005 we had this euphoric real estate market
," said Bombay Consulting president Carole Rodini in a statement on Movoto's
website. "Everybody wanted to get into the real estate business rather than
owning real estate as a home."
"These people are wealthy; they have money," Rodini says. "They are not
going to try to day trade real estate."
