Facebook to File $100 Billion, €76.1 Billion IPO as Early as Next Week

The wheels are in motion, and have been so for a long time now, but the latest rumor on the Facebook IPO says that the company may file it as early as next week. This means that we'll be seeing the first official financial details on the company very soon. The filing should also shed some light on the size of the IPO and how much Facebook thinks it is worth.

The latest rumor, coming from the Wall Street Journal, says Facebook is looking to raise $10 billion, €7.61 billion in the IPO, making it one of the largest in history, at a valuation between $75 billion, €57.1 billion to $100 billion, €76.1 billion.

$75 billion would actually be below some of the previous figures thrown around and even less than what secondary market transactions have valued the company at times. People have bought Facebook shares on secondary markets at a valuation of over $85 billion, €64.7 billion the rumors say.
