Who actually owns Facebook? Not one, and definitely not Goldman Sachs (or its clients). The power still rests with Facebook co-founder / CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who owns 24% of the company [equivalent to $12 billion] and its employees – - co-founders included – - who own a 45% stake in the company [~ $22.5 billion].

      $450 million investment of Goldman Sachs in Facebook bought the funder 0.8% of the company’s shares [$400 million], while its clients already won about 3% [~ $1.5 billion]. The only major share holder left out being Russian investment firm Digital Sky Technologies, with a 10% share [$5 billion].
