That would be then...

I came across this snippet today from 25th October 2010, while I looking for something else: LAST WEEK’S SUCCESSFUL FLOTATION OF BETTING EXCHANGE BETFAIR IS GOOD NEWS FOR IRISH QUOTED BOOKMAKER PADDY POWER, which now does over half of its business online, Ireland’s Sunday Independent reports.  Demand for the shares was strong, with the price jumping from £13 to £15, valuing the whole company at €1.6 billion. The paper points out that for that money you could buy the whole of Paddy Power and still have more than €400m to spare. Market cap of Paddy Power today? €3.1bn.
