  • $20.1
    billion
    the amount raised by GM’s IPO earlier today (which is amazing, and the biggest ever)
  • $4.35
    billion
    the amount in preferred shares the company sold, far above the $4 billion anticipated
  • 33%
    stake
    the amount of GM the government will still own after the IPO, down from 61 percent source
