Facebook stated in its own press release at the time that the company issued $400 million in cash, common stock valued at $1.6 billion and $300 million earn-out. With those numbers, the press and Facebook continuously low-balled the "approximately $2 billion," and simply neglected a cool $700 million. 。
Oculus had approximately 75 employees at the time of the acquisition.。
Even with the new price tag, Oculus is far from Facebook's most expensive deal to date. Facebook acquired WhatsApp for $19 billion in 2015. 。
