CNBC: Facebook now worth $65 billion

A new report from CNBC claims that Facebook, the world's most popular online social networking website, is now worth a staggering $65 billion. The report comes following the announcement that General Atlantic will purchase one tenth of one percent of Facebook, valuing the social network at $65 billion. The deal has been approved by investors of General Atlantic, but not by Facebook at this time.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that Goldman Sachs would invest $500 million into Facebook, valuing the company at $50 billion at the time.
