Mail.ru portal valued at one billion US dollars
According to Kommersant, at the beginning of this week, the South African media holding Naspers Limited acquired 2.6% of the Internet portal Mail.ru for $ 26 million, increasing its share in the Internet company to almost 33%. Thus, the entire Mail.ru is valued at $ 1 billion, which was a record asset value in RuNet.
Naspers Limited does not rule out that the company's share in Mail.ru assets will increase over time. Among comparable transactions on the Runet, it is possible to mention, perhaps, only the purchase of 48% of Rambler Media holding by Prof-Media for 235-300 million US dollars.
Analysts and market participants believe that Naspers paid an adequate price. Elina Yurina, director of the high-tech investment center at IK Finam, notes that this year Mail.ru revenue will more than double to $ 60-65 million.
Meanwhile, in the interim financial report of Naspers Limited, it is noted that over the six months of this year, Mail.ru's monthly audience has grown from 29.7 to 35.3 million users, who view 4.3 billion pages per month. The number of Mail.ru users during the reporting period increased from 25.6 to 30.7 million people.

It is worth adding that Naspers owns assets in Europe, Asia and North America, and the main business is concentrated in South Africa. The company owns the largest online information portal in South Africa - News24. In 2007 fiscal year (ended March 31), Naspers revenue was $ 19.5 billion, net profit was $ 2.2 billion, reports Compulenta.
