Facebook, once thought to be child’s play, is actually a machine that prints money.
According to The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, Goldman Sachs has reached out to its wealthy private clients, offering them a chance to invest in Facebook– a move expected to raise $1.5 billion dollars in operating capital.
The deal could add pressure on Facebook to go public even as its executives have resisted. The popularity of shares of Microsoft and Google in the private market ultimately pressured them to pursue initial public offerings.
