In a report focusing on the Internet and social media, Wedbush discusses the value of Facebook (which has surged above $70 billion), rumors of a Facebook-branded phone, and the success of Zynga's Cityville. Among the facts and theories is an interesting graph that outlines the owners of Facebook. “Wait, I thought Mark Zuckerberg owned Facebook?” Yes, he does. He owns approximately 24% of the company, which amounts to $12 billion of its worth. The remaining ownership is as follows: Facebook Staff: ~30% (or $15 billion) Dustin Moskovitz: ~6% (or $3 billion) Sean Parker: ~4% (or $2 billion) Eduardo Saverin: ~5% (or $2.5 billion) Digital Sky Technologies: ~10% (or $5 billion) Goldman Sachs GS: ~0.8% (or $400 million) Goldman Sachs' clients: ~3% (or $1.5 billion) Greylock Partners: ~1.5% (or $750 million) Meritech Capital Ventures: ~1.5% (or $750 million) Peter Thiel: ~3% (or $1.5 billion) Bono: ~1.5% (or $750 million) Other Investors: ~9.7% (or $4.85 billion)
