With Facebook now upping its initial public offering, as first reported by CNBC's Kate Kelly last night, it still remains roughly $2 billion shy of becoming the biggest U.S. IPO ever.
If priced at the high end of its current range of $34-$38, Facebook would raise $16 billion, which is less than Visa's record $17.9 billion back in March 2008.
It would also be behind the second largest U.S. IPO, ENEL SpA's, which rose $16.5 billion back in November 1999.
At the $16 billion mark, Facebook would become the 7th largest IPO to list globally, pushing General Motors' November 2010 IPO back to 8th place.
