At Yahoo's height, December 24th, 1999 (hilariously, almost the exact date the options were released from escrow after Viaweb's purchase), the share price was 101.81, which would have made the 393,591 shares worth about $40,071,499.

That's more than a 500% increase over today's value, representing 32 million dollars which could buy at least fifty Lamborghinis or seven million Caramel Frappuccinos.


Using the splits that Yahoo has had and its current stock price 1,574,364 shares is worth $31 723 434.6


Oh, I know. It's just not often you hear $8M used with that qualifier!
