How much of Twitter does that get him?
1 comments

Using the $8 Billion valuation, around 3.75% of Twitter.
This concerns me about my investment as a user in Twitter. Even if it's only 3.75% of Twitter the company now owns, I don't necessarily want to support the venture of a Saudi billionaire. Maybe if they are really proponents freedom of speech and the press, it isn't such a bad thing.
I'm sure you don't drive a car, either.
Yes, and here's to hoping he doesn't do any business with Citibank, directly or indirectly.
Or uses any Apple products. Or Owns a car or truck from GM. The prince has huge stakes in each
Ah, thanks. I suppose I'm a bit of a fool for not just looking up Twitter's valuation.

3.75% doesn't sound so bad, even if you assume bad intent. 300M had me thinking it had to be a really significant minority share, like 40%... not keeping up with the times, I guess.
