The Facebook IPO will see many rich individuals get richer, with Mark Zuckerberg leading the way. The social networking company is only getting about half, or $5.6 billion, of the roughly $10.6 billion it plans to raise via its mega IPO. The other half, or about $4.9 billion, is going to a handful of inside investors, many Silicon Valley notables.
