8. Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) (2012): $16 billion

Facebook’s IPO was one of the largest IPOs in the internet and technology history. At the time of IPO, Facebook had 845 million active monthly users. The company was listed on NASDAQ on May 18, 2012 and the fist day of trading was marked by software malfunction that caused delays in trading. The social media giant faced criticism post its IPO because of its lackluster stock performance and slow mobile performance. But Facebook showed the world that it could achieve strong mobile revenue within just 18 months. Facebook’s IPO also marked the change in status of NASDAQ as the sole host of tech IPOs. Following Facebook’s IPO, many tech giants like Twitter, GrubHub and Fitbit chose to list on NYSE.
