• We know what Mark Zuckerberg’s doing right now. He’s taking his daily swim in Facebook money. (We’re sure the Winklevi are rowing through their much smaller pile of litigation money.) As we’re sure you’ve heard, Facebook has been making fast friends with Goldman Sachs to increase its funding base without going public, which they’re going out of their way to not do for some reason. How much money have they raised? Well, to give you an idea:

• $1.5 billion raised by Facebook in the last freaking month

• $500
  million the amount Facebook raised in that shady-sounding Goldman Sachs deal a while back
• $1
  billion the amount Facebook raised from Goldman Sachs’ uber-rich individual international clients source
