While the market for Facebook's shares is hot, it's not guaranteed that the company's shares would be worth on the public market what they go for in private exchanges.
Not that Facebook is in any rush to go public. Zuckerberg, 26,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], has long been coy about a possible initial public offering,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], recently telling CBS' "60 Minutes" that he doesn't see selling the company or going public as an end goal,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as a lot of people seem to.
"(It's) like you win when you go public. And that's just not how I see it," he said on Dec. 5.
There are many reasons for Facebook to put off an IPO,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a big one being that it doesn't need the money, as the latest investment shows. Companies go public to get access to capital,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Facebook clearly has access to capital, Kerner said.
Becoming public also requires a "significant time commitment" from a company's senior management that they could otherwise spend running the company,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he added. Zuckerberg has been deeply involved with running Facebook since its founding and shows no signs of wanting to give that up to cash out. He's even pledged to give away at least half of his wealth along with a slew of much older billionaires such as Carl Icahn and Barry Diller.
