If LL was worth 5 billion I'd expect this forum to be made of solid gold. Never mind how that would work exactly.

That does seem awfully high.

Let's do a quick sanity check. These numbers are highly suspect, for reasons that have been discussed here before, but...if we assume that the "$US spent" figure is an indicator of the amount SL "makes" in a day, then we might say LL makes about $400M per year.

A typical business might be valued at as much as 7 times earnings, or $2.8B. A 10% slice of that would be $280M.

Well, well, well...an answer that's at least in the same order of magnitude as the reported purchase price. How very interesting!


I think if you add in land sales and tier, 500 million sounds reasonable.

Being able to obtain 10% of a company that can print money from thin air should attract investors!
