Facebook Spent $24 Million On Acqui-hires, $633 Million On Patents During The First Half Of 2012

we-are-hiringFacebook makes a good number of talent-focused acquisitions, aka acqui-hires -- but the cost of each deal is normally kept under wraps. In a regulatory quarterly filing the company made today, though, it put an aggregate pricetag on all those "non-material" sized deals it made in the first half of this year: $24 million. Facebook also broke out the exact amount of money it spent on acquiring patents and IP, that it was pretty significant: $633 million. The bulk of that -- $550 million -- went to its purchase of hundreds of AOL patents from Microsoft.
