 5. Atlas Solutions – around $100 million in 2013

Facebook acquired the Atlas Suite from Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) in 2013 in order to improve its ad measurement. The acquisition was thought to be beneficial for both marketers and users. Atlas would enable advertisers to perceive a group of interested people around the likes of Facebook for third-party apps and websites. Atlas still operates as a separate entity, having a presence in more than 24 markets globally. Founded in 2001, when these services were in a very nascent stage, Atlas Solutions provides online advertising solutions through a suite of tools to manage and measure the performance of advertising campaigns, and it is one of the biggest companies acquired by Facebook.
