Yahoo’s acquisition of Polyvore cost it around $200 million

Yahoo announced that it acquired a social shopping service known as Polyvore last week, but the specifics regarding the deal weren’t officially revealed. Even so, with the $22 million that Polyvore managed to raise since its founding, it’s safe to assume that Yahoo paid a pretty penny for the company. According to several sources familiar with the deal, this was definitely the case, as Yahoo paid somewhere around $200 million in cash to acquire the company.
