Comment on In 2011 Google Spent $1.9 Billion Acquiring 79 Companies

Comments

To save someone else a few seconds with a calculator, that's an average of just over 24 million per acquisition. Not that each was acquired for an equal amount.

And when you factor out just the ITA acquisition, as it was pointed out in the article, it drops to just over 15 million per acquisition.

What about Motorola Mobile that Google took over? Is that part of this $1.9 bilion?

The $1.9 Billion Google spent on acquistions excludes the Motorola deal. As the Motorola deal is expected to close sometime in 2012, so their $12.5 Billion acquistion would be included in the 2012 numbers - of course this is still up for regulatory approval.
