This is just a valuation based on the last traded price on a relatively illiquid market. If Facebook was traded on a public exchange (where all market participants would have access to Facebook's vital financials) or was just acquired would we know its true worth.

On a public exchange, there is more liquidity, but the valuation would still be based on the last traded price. Nevertheless, I guess this gets you closer to its "true worth"
