While a lot of people were beginning to doubt Facebook’s ability to raise more money after getting a lofty $15 billion valuation following a $240 million (for a 1.6% stake) investment from Microsoft last month, it seems the stakes are not too high for Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing, who has made an investment of $60 million (for a 0.4% stake) in the hot social-networking company, according to sources with knowledge of the transaction.

The 79-year-old Li (pictured here) is the chairman of Cheung Kong Holdings Limited and Hutchison Whampoa Limited, a conglomerate with 250,000 employees worldwide. His businesses are especially tied to Hong Kong, where he has massive investments in telecommunications, real estate, electricity, retail, shipping and the Internet.

According to sources, Li is not making the investment in Facebook via the companies he controls, but through another investment entity. He also has the right to invest another $60 million in Facebook.

Li has plenty of cash to do that–he is considered the richest man in Asia and was named the ninth richest person in the world by Forbes last March, with wealth valued at $23 billion.

He built that fortune from humble beginnings–his family fled mainland China when he was a boy. Li, who dropped out of school at 15 after the death of his father, started his career as a worker-laborer in a plastics company.

Facebook, according to sources, is still planning on raising more investment dollars, although some once-hot prospects, such as Providence Equity Partners, have dropped out due to the onerous terms Facebook has demanded from investors.

While both Microsoft and Li have agreed, for example, Providence was put off by the lack of downside protection and also the fact that a major investment in Facebook would not get them a seat on the board of the start-up. Neither Microsoft nor Li will get a Facebook board seat.

The deal with Li came through a Facebook investor, who introduced the company to Solina Chau, director of the Li Ka-shing Foundation. Chau is also a major stockholder in Tom.com, a media company in China in which Li’s companies also have an interest. His investment might give Tom a leg up in possible partnerships with Facebook in China.

Facebook may be worth $10 billion, at least to Microsoft, says the Wall Street Journal. Someone leaked to them that the two companies are in discussions to take a Microsoft investment of $300-$500 million for 5% of the company.

Any cash they take in would be good for 2020 customers as our ad would reach more and more Facebook members.

Their first acquisition: Facebook has bought Parakey, the yet-to-launch “web operating system” created by Firefox co-founders Blake Ross and Joe Hewitt. The price isn’t being disclosed, but Facebook should be issuing a press release soon.

Back in Feb 2005, Doug Leone is the Sequoia partner who has spearheaded the investment in the two-person company which is yet to decide its name. Ross, has been one of the most talked about youngsters in Silicon Valley. The 19-year-old Stanford University student interned at Netscape at age 14, and was one of the many software whizkids who turned Netscape’s bloated and kludgy software into Mozilla’s Firefox. Ross is not revealing the ultimate plans for the company or the focus of its products at that moment (now we know it’s a web os). The funding information comes from highly placed Silicon Valley sources, but was never confirmed officially.

Parakey will be an extremely important asset to Facebook as they are trying to become a web os itself with a social networking twist. With their F8 program launched in May 2007, 1000’s of apps has already appeared on the Facebook platform.

Could Facebook kill Microsoft by having thousands of apps developed on its platform (vs the PC os “windows” in the 1990’s) Time will tell.

All we know is our 2020 CLASSIFIEDS customers will benefit greatly as more users/consumers flock to the facebook site.

2020 CLASSIFIEDS service now reaches 30 million online classifieds sites users who generates 7 billion+ page views. Back in April 2007, the service reached 8 million online classifieds sites users.
