e.g.

— Goldman Sachs and affiliates, investment bank and one of the IPO's underwriters

Year invested in Facebook: 2011

Number of shares sold: 28.7 million

Value: $1.09 billion

Number of shares still owned: 37.3 million

Goldman is probably in the black on its investment and anything they get for the other 37.3 million shares will be all profit.

Same for the othe big private equity investors.
