Yesterday, Facebook acquired WhatsApp for a whopping $19 billion. And today, Rob Lowe offered up a fantastic take on the deal:
Man leaves Ukraine for America. Begins on food stamps then co creates a new company, Whatsapp and sells for 19 BILLION. #Capitalism #Kiev

Bam!
WhatsApp co-founder Jan Koum was a teenager when he emigrated from Ukraine to the U.S. And just look at how far he’s come! His success is proof that the American Dream isn’t out of anyone’s reach.
