Google Is Worth $174.83 Billion

The popular Search Engine, Google.com is worth $174.83 billion, and it is currently the biggest media company in the world. It is bigger than notables like Time Warner, the company which owns Time Magazine, CNN & America Online; it is bigger than Viacom, the owners of MTV and Paramount Pictures. In fact, Google is worth more than all the companies quoted in the Nigerian Stock Market combined!

This includes Mobil, OANDO, Nigerian Breweries, Zenith and all the other banks (combined!). A single Google.com share costs more than $450 and it is projected to reach $600 a piece sometime next year - that's more than N50,000! a piece (compare this to that of say Zenith bank that sells for less than N50!).
