Samwer brothers sell Facebook shares
The three German internet investors—Marc, Oliver, and Alexander Samwer—have exited the U.S. company Facebook. They are selling their Facebook shares.
The three brothers acquired a stake in Facebook at the beginning of 2008. According to calculations by Manager Magazin, they probably tripled their capital investment at the time. Oliver Samwer confirmed to Wirtschaftsblatt that they had sold their shares in Facebook because they wanted to concentrate on the early-stage and growth areas.
Most recently, the three Samwer brothers made a name for themselves by founding online companies such as Alando, Jamba and, most recently, Citydeal.
