â Eric Jackson (@ericjackson) August 19, 2014. As we now know, investing in Google in 2004 wasn't such a bad idea in the longterm. Google now generates more than $50 billion a year in revenue and it now has a market cap of about $400 billion, making it one of the most valuable public companies in the world.
Google's initial public offering took place on August 19, 2004. A total of 19,605,052 shares were offered at a price of $85 per share. Of that, 14,142,135 (another mathematical reference as â2 â 1.4142135) were floated by Google and 5,462,917 by selling stockholders.
