Snapchat is worth 3-4 billion because someone offered to buy them or invest for a percentage that valued them at that price.

People arguing whether or not it is worth that price are silly. It's like arguing whether a house is worth the asking price. It is if there is a buyer who values it at that price.




This is a silly and useless comment. "Why did Facebook offer $3 billion for Snapchat?" "Because Facebook offered $3 billion for Snapchat." Thanks.


No. The comment is

"Why is Snapchat worth $3 billion? Because Facebook is willing to pay that much and investors are willing to invest at that valuation."


and everyone here is asking this : WHY/HOW "Facebook is willing to pay that much and investors are willing to invest at that valuation"?
