GOOGLE'S INVESTMENTS SHOULD BE STUDIED.
Google owns 7% of SpaceX and 14% of Anthropic, two of the biggest IPOs in history, both listing this year.
$900 million invested in SpaceX in 2015 is now worth $126 billion, a 140x return.
$13 billion invested in Anthropic is now worth $135 billion, a 10.4x return.
Those two stakes are now worth $261 billion combined, an 18.8x blended return before either company has even gone public.

Funds got private rounds.
Institutions got allocation.
Retail got the headline.
So retail made its own IPO.
