The Power of Millennial Zuck
According to the Wall Street Journal, Facebook (FB) CEO Mark Zuckerberg called an audible on making the $1 billion acquisition of Instagram last week (which will actually be worth $1.3 billion if Facebook IPOs at a $100 billion valuation).
He didn’t involve his board at all in the negotiations until it was time to rubber-stamp it. According to the Journal, on the morning of Sunday, April 8th, Zuckerberg first notified them that he would be buying the hot photo-sharing site. They announced the deal the next day.
