There are few things that sound better than a $3 billion shopping spree, but in reality, it’d probably be almost as tough to spend $3 billion all in one place as it would be to acquire that sum of money in the first place. Snapchat founder and CEO Evan Spiegel, 23, might have known this firsthand had he not turned down Facebook’s $3 billion bid to buy his company. Here are 15 examples of what Spiegel could have bought with Facebook’s offer.
