These 2 paragraphs are from a story CBS did on Facebook when Microsoft bought a piece of the company. The link to the full article is below.
Which is why Yahoo! offered to buy Facebook in 2006 for $1 billion in cash. Zuckerberg declined. But then in 2007 Microsoft swooped in and bought 1.6 percent of the company for $240 million.
That meant that Bill Gates valued Facebook at $15 billion, roughly the same as Ford or CBS. Some analysts say that's wildly unrealistic, since Facebook has yet to figure out how to make money off its huge audience.

I'm not saying we have the next Facebook here- But companies buy other companies due to potential.
