CNBC reported that investment firm General Atlantic has put the valuation of social networking website Facebook at $65billion. This is 30% more than Facebook's valuation in January.

According to report, General Atlantic will purchase a 0.1% stake from a former Facebook employee. This deal has not yet been closed and requires Facebook approval first.

Zuckerberg has the highest stake in Facebook. Other major stake holders include Russian DST and Accel Partners. Both have a stake of 10% in Facebook , now valued to $6.5 billion. Facebook's early employees also have major stake. Co-founder Dustin Moskovitz and Eduardo Saverin have stake of 6% and 5% respectively. This amounts to $3.9 billion and $3.25 billion.
