Today is the day. No, not the day that Jamie Dimon finally gets a reprieve from the financial media. And no, not the day that Bono officially becomes the wealthiest rock star in the world. But the day that the public can finally get its hands on shares of Facebook.
With the listing to become official at 11am EST. today, Mark Zuckerburg will become the CEO of one of the largest companies in the world – the 23rd largest on U.S. listed markets, to be exact.
With an opening price set at $38 per share, Facebook’s market-cap now stands around $104 billion. Below, courtesy of our friends at Capital IQ, is a listing of the 25 largest companies in the U.S. based on their EOD market-caps on May 16.
