    Is a 2-year-old company worth 8 billion USD?

      A name like Fei-Fei Li is probably worth a chunk of that (I'm not saying I agree, but that's probably the thinking).

      It's a public bet, not a valuation based on product economics. Billion dollar bets follow different rules (and I'm not saying it's sane).

        You're right. Her bio writes like an OP self-insert character's [1].
