Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Social networking giant Facebook filed IPO documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday. Although the company said it aims to raise $5 billion, that number could rise as high as $10 billion, depending on investor demand. Facebook’s public debut, which caps a meteoric rise to the top of the tech world, would be the largest Internet IPO in history, and could value the company as high as $100 billion. Several individuals and venture capital firms stand to reap massive financial windfalls. Here’s a look at some of the biggest winners from the company’s offering.

The biggest beneficiary of a Facebook IPO, of course, would be founder Mark Zuckerberg. The 27-year-old native of White Plains, NY, founded Facebook in 2004 with a couple of Harvard buddies.

[...] Inflation is the long-term rise in the overall level of prices. A one- or two-month blip does not qualify. Neither does a rise in, say, the price of oil, if it is offset by declines in other prices. A general increase in prices can only be sustained over the long term if the amount of money in circulation is growing. And that depends not only on the amount of money in the banking system, but also on the speed with which people spend it (known as velocity).(LIST: Social Windfall: Facebook IPO’s Billion-Dollar Winners) [...]
