      That number is extremely misleading. That’s the total investment in reality labs division in meta since becoming meta. So all of oculus, the AR/XR research and developments that they’ve done and more. It’s not super fair (I dislike meta, just to be clear) to phrase that number in a way that sounds like all of that money went to horizon worlds (the app they said was shutting down but instead is being continued just primarily as mobile only and now with vr grandfathered in) as that was one of the smallest things reality labs were doing. Reality labs are still around and doing a lot with that previous investment technology for AR/XR glasses.

      That’s the long and short of that figure. Hope this helps : )

      My guess: It’s been MLM all along. If you, as an investor, were late to the party, your money is all gone now. If you were early, and especially if your last name is Zuckerberg, you own it now.
