Honest question: what is the return multiple that an investor expect when he/she invests in a $40bi valuation?

If Angels & Seed expect 100x; VC expect 10x; I imagine these investors expect as much as a common stock exchange investor: 1.2x a year?

My guess would be a $100b market-cap IPO in the next 12-18 months is what they're hoping for. Long enough to grow more, but quickly enough to get out before the regulatory hammer starts to fall.
