Slideshow: Top 10 Biggest Winners in LinkedIn's Moon-Shot IPO
Remember when I speculated that the LinkedIn IPO might not make Reid Hoffman a billionaire? Open mouth, insert foot. With LinkedIn's initial public offering today, Herr Hoffman is a billionaire two times over (at least at LNKD's intraday share price of more than $100). But the LinkedIn co-founder isn't the only one who has made out like a bandit in the IPO. Four venture firms -- Bain Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, Greylock Partners and Sequoia Capital -- as a group hold shares worth in excess of $4 billion. Following is a slideshow of the top 10 biggest winners in the IPO -- based on LNKD's price of $107.00 per share at 12:27 p.m. EDT. Given that the stock zoomed from an opening price of $80 to as much as $122.70 today, it is anyone's guess as to where it will finally close at the end of the day. Still, that won't affect our rankings.
