What Would $1 Billion Buy You Besides Instagram & 800 Patents?

What Would $1 Billion Buy In College?

In the past week, Facebook bought Instagram for a cool $1 billion, and Microsoft agreed to pay AOL (The Huffington Post's parent company) $1 billion for 800 patents.

Facebook was started by a college student, and was originally only available to college students. Instagram has been at the top of the app store, and is very popular among college students. So this certainly caught the attention of college kids everywhere.

Take a look at what we figured out:

12,113 college professors and instructors
