Google hits $500 / share

Google Inc has now surpassed $500 per share in today's trading. Its market capitalisation is now worth almost $154 billion dollars. It has almost 5,700 employees.

Yet, do you honestly believe that this company is actually worth that much? The top founders and executives have very little pay but lots of exercisable options that will guarantee them to be either a billionaire or millionaire.

Compared to Microsoft (MSFT) which is trading close to $30 and has a market cap of over $294 billion and 71,000 employees.
