Facebook Joins The $1 Trillion Club

In 2012, Facebook Inc FB held its highly anticipated initial price offering with the company valued at around $100 billion. Less than 10 years later, the company is now valued at over $1 trillion.

What Happened: On Monday afternoon, Facebook's stock passed the $1 trillion market capitalization for the first time in company history.

The move came as shares traded higher on the heels of a suit by the Federal Trade Commission against Facebook being dismissed. 

Facebook joins the $1 trillion club that currently has five other members.
