you all are stupid, the article says Filo owns 80,000,000 not 80,000…that is 80 million shares not 80 thousand…so yes 2.4 billion is correct

with $2.4 billion + $1.6 billion = $4 billion why don’t Filo & Yang (simply) start something NEW after selling Yahoo?

or (maybe) they’ve no new web-ideas?

Thanks for your corrections. The error has been fixed: Filo owns close to 80 MILLION, not 80 THOUSAND shares.

Decimal error on David Filo estimation:
80k * $31 = $2.4 million, not billion

Your math is wrong for David Filo

Is the math correct in this article?
IT says Yahoo’s CEO indirectly owns 43,489,864 and others shares valued at 1.6billion.
But Davido filo owns only 80,000 shares and this article says they would be worth 2.4billion.

Shouldn’t David Filo’s cut be 2.4 MILLION instead of Billion?

Just a thought since he owns the least amount of shares and yet still holds some of the highest potential profit from selling according to this writeup.

“David Filo: Filo stays out of the limelight but directly owns close to 80,000 shares of Yahoo. At the proposed $31 price per share, they would be worth more than $2.4 billion.”
_____________________________

is that the “new math” i’ve been hearing about? in the old days…

80,000 x $31 = 2,480,000…

or just shy of 2.5 MILLION, not BILLION.

i think what you meant was that Filo owns something like 80 million shares…

Check your math. If Filo owns 80 thousand shares, that would convert to $2.4 “M”illion not “B”illion.

Your numbers are wrong for Filo worth by my math unless you have some shares hidden in the equation.

learn to do math. 80,000 shares at $31 worth more than 2.4 billion?

80,000*31 is not 2.4 billion

For Filo, I think you mean $2.4 MILLION, if indeed he has 80,000 shares
