Where do you get your marvellous comparison figures from?
Yes, it puts it into a more depressing perspective. Although I would tip my hat to the founders if they decided to build "WhatsAppTown", a city of the future.
In fact I want them to - because when we throw around this kind of cash (the amounts normally only State actors have) we get outliers - sometimes a boring miser who just wants more, sometimes a visionary who tries to build their Jeston style future.
I just hope Facebook stock is going to those who watched the Jetsons on Saturday mornings.
I searched the web for "megaprojects" and grabbed figures from any site that at least sounded legit, so caveat emptor. I pulled anything that felt like it would cost between 15 and 25 billion US$ if it was completed (or completed again) this year.
