I know your intent was to just say the acquisition could be huge. But I want to say anyway, in terms of ROI and being a blockbuster deal (returns being 11 or 12 figures), Instagram is possibly the best acquisition of all time. Booking.com is arguable though with Instagram still growing it takes the lead going into 2020.
And Naspers investing into Tencent and Softbank into Alibaba are up there too, though they’re just big minority stake investments.
- trimbo 7y ago> Instagram is possibly the best acquisition of all time I vote for NeXT
- why_only_15 7y agoNeXT acquisition price feels almost more like Steve Jobs sign-on bonus than an acquisition per se.
- MaximumMadness 7y agoFitbit owns ~6% of the 45bn dollar wearables market Your point definitely stands, as a ~3bn market opportunity might not be at the scale of Instagram or Alibaba, but thats some good ROI
