[2-5] FACEBOOK PAYDAY: PUBLIC OFFERING

DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)(OC): And shortly before we [1]came on the air tonight big news about Facebook.  Because there are reports that this time tomorrow Facebook and its founder Mark Zuckerberg will be [2]on their way to mounting one of the largest public offerings in history.  And I want to bring in ABC's Bill Weir who's been watching this so closely.  What does this mean for Zuckerberg?  This is [3]history at a thousand different levels.

BILL WEIR (ABC NEWS)(OC): This means this 27-year-old can [4]buy a lot of hoodies because when they start [5]trading this company publicly on stock exchanges [6]his net worth will be roughly $20 billion, $25 billion, [7]putting him in the top 15 in the world's richest people.

BILL WEIR (ABC NEWS)(VO): And he'll be [8]bringing a lot of his employees with him, about 3,000 people work out there in California on Facebook, [9]coders and [10]advertisers and all these people, and about a thousand of them will become multimillionaires [11]the minute the stock starts trading.

DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)(VO): A thousand of them.

BILL WEIR (ABC NEWS)(OC): Yeah.  When they were hired depending on when you joined the company you're allowed to buy a certain amount of shares and [12]once this hits the market, they are going to be rich.  Mommas, let your babies grow up to be coders.

DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)(OC): [13]Lot of lives change tomorrow.  And what does this mean around the world?  What does it signal to the rest of the world?  I was asking you about China.  [14]Where does this rank among Chinese companies?

BILL WEIR (ABC NEWS)(OC): Well, there's only about a half dozen Chinese companies and that includes oil companies that are worth more than the hundred billion dollars that a lot of people are putting on Facebook in terms of value.

BILL WEIR (ABC NEWS)(VO): And that's very staggering, but [15]some debate the value of this company.  Now, they have 800 million users.  Only China and India have bigger populations than Facebook.

BILL WEIR (ABC NEWS)(OC): And that's [16]a fat target for advertisers, but there will be a lot of debate in coming months about exactly how much this company is worth.  But at the end of the day, this is a company that started eight years ago next month in a dorm room, four Harvard [17]dropouts.

DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)(OC): And [18]the giant idea will be put to the test tomorrow.

BILL WEIR (ABC NEWS)(OC): Exactly.
