As of today Google (Nasdaq symbol :GOOG) is now worth $614/share, making its market capitalization a whopping USD $188 billion. This means that Google is now worth more than the following, put together (the list below is from GigaOm) with money leftover to buy a few thousand private jets…

the New York Times Co. (NYT) ($2.86 billion), Reuters (RTRSY) ($16.5 billion), CBS (CBS) ($23 billion), Viacom (VIA) ($28 billion), News Corp. (NWS.A), ($71.5 billion) and Yahoo (YHOO) ($35 billion) and all of Pakistan in one go..(we’d even be cheaper than alot of companies out there!)

I really hope Google doesnt turn evil..because its now official, they can own most of the world, if they’d want to…!

But on the bright side, this started in 1994, with 2 guys working on an idea they believed in. 4 years later they were millionaires, 13 years later they are billionaires several times over. So now work on that idea that is floating in your head aimlessly and build your startup, take your shot, cause you arent going to get rich and famous sitting on that cushy chair and MNC-level salary!
