According to CrunchBase, facebook has raised roughly $2.1B totally (including their IPO, which accounted for $1.5B of that). [0]

In 2014, facebook totalled roughly $3B net income [1]. So they made dramatically more money back in the last year than they raised totally and will probably continue to do so.

The filing in [1] lists net income as $1.5 billion. It doesn't invalidate your point but just wanted to point that out.


Yeah you are right.
