"The San Francisco-based technology company is backed by Google Ventures, which recently estimated that the company is worth more than $200 billion, according to Bloomberg."

Ok, Uber is great, but $200B? A third as valuable as Apple? Errr, no.

Sort of a misquote. The Bloomberg article quotes the Google Ventures managing partner, who says the long-term market value could be $200 billion or more. This article makes it sound like that's their current valuation. Still sounds too high, but it's not quite as ridiculous.

Knowing The Post & Courier and their notorious lack of spell check, that is probably a typo no one caught because no one reviews the articles.
