    Facebook.com. They rejected a 750 million offer and have set the price at 2 billion (I believe).

    Google is currently worth $120 billion.

    So you need to buy 51% of the company, you cant buy more than 10% on the open market without the current biggest stakeholders to agree.

    Get 6 people to each buy 9% then work together to challenge the board and the company is yours, atleast controlled by you. ;)

    You can't own more than 5% of a company without notifying the SEC about your intent.

    Besides owning 51% is probably retarded. Owning 10% would be a "real" control stake in google. But you can buy google if you want to play my money is falling threw my hands!
