WhatsApp? 10 other things Facebook could have bought with $19 billion

Facebook's acquisition of the hugely popular messaging service WhatsApp for $19 billion is one of the largest tech deals in history. It dwarfs Facebook's acquisition of Instagram for $1 billion in 2012 -- and even that was considered an astonishing number by many.
Since $19 billion is a sum most of us can hardly comprehend (and because it's fun to imagine), we came up with a list of other things Mark Zuckerberg and his team could have purchased for $19 billion.see the list from 1-10 respectively...
1.The UN's aid budget for a year ($13B)
2.Four World Trade Centers ($16B)
3 A nest egg for Big Bird ($450)
4.Relief for the Philippines ($6B)
5.A 198 million year Netflix binge ($7.99) a month
6.12.6 billion hot dogs ($1.50) per one
7.Four aircraft carriers ($18B)
8.19,000 Ai Weiwei vases($1B) help to chinese artist
9.678 nuclear bombs ($28M) per one
10.A loan deal with Ukraine ($15B)
What would you do if you had that kind of money?
