Facebook has taken in over $2 billion in VC funding but has a valuation approaching $100 billion. Twitter has taken in $1.16 billion for an $8 billion valuation.
Be careful equating a implied valuation based on a late stage private financing to actual valuation. It works when when companies are worth $1 million and there are one or two classes of stock. Not so much in these cases. The public markets will have the final say, and that could be a very, very different story for both Twitter and Facebook.
