The purchase of MySpace's parent company was $580 million. Apparently $327 million of that was "attributed" to MySpace itself.
Revenues are meaningless. MySpace last reported a profit in 2007, of $10 mil on $550 mil in revenue.

MySpace's current market value is nowhere close to the $5 billion you claim. It has been hemorrhaging market share to Facebook for years.
Just check out the graphs.

Steady drop toward zero.
