Valuation
Recently Facebook bought popular messaging app “Whatsapp” for $ 19 Billion that means roughly $ 42 per user.
Whereas
Emirates airlines which has been named Most Valuable Airline Brand Worldwide has the valuation of $ 5.48 Billion (Source).The company has a fleet of more than 212 aircrafts.
Does this means Whatsapp is valuable three times more than Emirates Airlines ??
Here are some more valuations:
Laxmi Niwas Mittal–$16.5 Billion
Dell-$15.9 Billion
Azim Premji-$11.2 Billion
Richard Branson-$ 4.6 Billion
This deal has raised lot of questions in front of everybody.
