Where's the Snapchat's revenue or Instagram's or WhatsApp's?

It appears that WhatApp was profitable in 2014 with $16m in revenue and $13.5m in expenses. With that said, the value to Facebook was purely strategic and was worth far more than their business model.

And that justifies $16B?! There were strategies during the Dot-com bubble as. Facebook's leading strategy for acquisitions is insecurity.

I was responding to your point about revenue. I agree that $16 Billion is an outrageous amount for that company.
