Does it really matter though? Because from what I watched that episode was what someone would do for love. And to be honest, I don’t think it would’ve had as big as an impact with a hetero couple.

Right, but that’s nowhere near the money to be able to make the company break even.

Even if a stock isn’t publicly traded it still has value. It’s just that retail investors can’t buy or sell it. Basically, it’s owning a part of the company. So they now technically own whatever percentage (number of shares/total number shares available). Unfortunately, it doesn’t equate to a monetary value to the company itself just show’s the company who owns what percentage of it.

So well the company is “valued” at what it is now, they are only saying that if they were to sell all those shares in the open market that would be what it’s worth. Now in the business world the CEO & CFO will be able to go get loans based on that value (putting that stock as colaterial) but it’s basically all that they’d be able to get right now.

That’s not exactly correct. The CEO & CFO are paid a salary way less, like I think around the $300k range. The $285M is in stock options, which only has a value based on the price of the stock. They could hand them back to the company but they would be of no value to the company until the IPO.

Has that been proven yet? I thought we needed to wait for the outcome of the state of the economy in the next little bit.

That stripper predicted the start of economic decline but until we can see if there’s an economic boom after their most recent tweet I don’t think we can say that it’s a fact yet.
