>> this was not a successful i.p.o. >> reporter: max wolfe is an economist with greencrest capital. >> the average first day is about a 15% gain overall and in tech land it's larger, about 25% gain and we have basically a nothing percent gain. so they unveiled the great new starlet of the tech world here and she fell on the red carpet. she tripped and fell. >> reporter: still, zuckerberg made over $20 billion today and the stock offering values facebook at $104 billion. more than amazon, disney and starbucks. and that's the problem, some analysts say. facebook is being valued for its promise, not for its performance. in the market today, investors just weren't ready to pay that heavy a premium. >> was facebook ever in danger of falling below the $38 mark. >> reporter: it tested the level twice today particularly at the close and analysts say it looked like the banks rushed in to prop it up, they didn't want facebook closing on its opening day below its offering price, that would have been a huge embarrassment. >> o'donnell: no doubt, anthony, thank you. also making a lot of money on the facebook i.p.o. are the winklevoss twins, tyler and cameron. remember, they famously fought legal battles with zuckerberg over who came up with the idea for facebook. the three men now have facebook shares totaling about $300 million. and it was a really beautiful day for bono, the lead singer of the rock group u2. an investment group he coowns bought 2% of facebook in 2009. today the group made nearly $1.5 billion when the stock went public. and then there are the people who work for facebook. john blackstone has the story of the overnight millionaires spreading the wealth. >> reporter: the employees at facebook's silicon valley headquarters were not the only ones celebrating in the region around menlo park, california. william collick is certain at least a few of the newly rich will be dropping by his luxury car dealership to try out lam boalamahasan boar genie models n cost more than $380,000. >> we're excited and congratulations to those involved in the facebook i.p.o. and we're here to help in any way possible. >> reporter: ken deleon drives a $100,000 plus aston martin. he doesn't work for facebook, he's a real estate agent who's profitd from the sale of homes to a few of facebook's fortunate employees. 20-year-old moving into a $5, $6 million home? >> i had... one of my clients was in an 800 square foot apartment, moved into an 8,000 square foot home. the movers literally asked him "did you win the lottery." >> reporter: it's estimated today's stock sale made 1,000 facebook employees millionaires. but de leone says facebook workers, like many in the tech industry, don't flaunt their wealth. >> my client who's $100 plus million, he drives a toyota prius. so they're still centered. >> reporter: with companies like google and apple also thriving, there's now so much money in silicon valley that even modest homes fetch prices well over a million dollars and there are multiple buyers. this one listed at $1.4 million and sold for almost $2 million. de leone is now putting the finishing touches on this $10 million mansion near facebook headquarters. time to go on the market just as the newly wealthy workers start house hunting. and here at facebook's headquarters, employees have been keeping a low profile today, but by one calculation, the average worker here is now worth $4.9 million, norah, that's on paper, at least. >> o'donnell: wow. all right, thank you. we're continuing to examine the evidence of the case of george zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer charged with murdering an unarmed teenager, trayvon martin. zimmerman claims he acted in self-defense. mark strassmann now with the evidence and what it shows and what it doesn't show. >> reporter: the convenience store surveillance video showing trayvon martin buying snacks was first seen by his family last night. what was it like fo for trayvons mother to see him in that video? >> she says she stayed upmost of the night crying last night. >> reporter: lawyer benjamin crump represents the teenager's parents. >> if you're a parent, you know, that is... there's an unimaginable thought that this is the last few minutes of my child's life. >> reporter: the state's evidence filed details injuries from the fight but offers no clear clues to explain what started the confrontation. it began as martin was talking to his girlfriend on his cell phone and here is what she told police. >> reporter: one witness told police he saw martin pummeling zimmerman like a mixed martial arts expert. >> reporter: but another witness' description is murkier. >> reporter: some of the case's most important evidence has yet to be made public, including zimmerman's three interviews with police and his cell phone records. we've learned that includes texts zimmerman sent after the shooting, some of them disparage leaders of justice for trayvon rallies with language described as offensive. mark o'mara, zimmerman's lawyer, has yet to get copies of all those texts. so you still will be looking for that? >> absolutely. >.>> reporter: and if there's there? >> we'll deal with it. i don't know the context of it. i don't know what it was in responsible. i'm sure that as every other part of this case there will be explanations on both sides, let's wait and see what we have. >> reporter: o'mara expects to get the rest of the prosecution's case in pieces over the next few weeks and, norah, some of the evidence now under seal may be made public only in court. >> o'donnell: all right, mark, thank you. turning now to politics and a new battle over defense spending. president obama and republican leaders had agreed to trim the pentagon budget, but today the house passed a bill that adds $8 billion in new spending. it includes funding for ships and aircraft that the military wants to retire. the president has threatened to veto it. the bitter climate in congress is holding up a measure on which both sides agree. democrats and republicans say they're in favor of extending the 1994 violence against women act. it protects victims of abuse. but does it go far enough? nancy cordes is at the capitol tonight. nancy? >> reporter: norah, the debate over this issue has been raw and emotional with some female members putting their personal, painful histories on the record to try to make their case. democrat gwen moore of wisconsin and republican sandy adams of florida share a history of being abused by men they trusted. moore says she was attacked in her 20s by a friend who gave her a ride. >> and he decided to take a detour behind some buildings to rape me and choke me almost to death. >> reporter: adams fled an abusive marriage when she was a new mother barely out of her teens. >> the man i married had a penchant for drinking and was very violent when he drank. >> reporter: but the two women find themselves on opposite sides of a fight over the violence against women act. democrats say the bill needs to be modernized and their version expands protections to cover illegal immigrants, lesbian, gay, and transgender americans, and native americans, groups whose abuse complaints often get overlooked. but house republicans like adams say that's an election year stunt, singling out groups for special treatment. >> turning this reauthorization into a political issue is not only wrong but it's dangerous. it is dangerous. >> reporter: the democratic version passed the senate with some bipartisan support. >> s.b. 1925 is passed as amended. >> reporter: the republican version passed narrowly in the house. >> the yays are 222, the nays are 205. >> reporter: and now the two sides are at an impasse. >> this is a direct assault on women's lives. three women are a day die from victimization. >> reporter: house speaker john boehner couldn't say how the conflict will be settled. how do you reconcile these two bills? is this going to turn into a fight over gay rights? >> well, we're eager to resolve our differences between the house and senate on the issue of domestic violence. >> reporter: this law allocates more than $600 million a year to help women who have been victimized and to go after their attackers and, norah, part of the reason the fight over the law has been so bitter is that both parties are trying to prove to women voters that they're on their side in an election year. >> o'donnell: all right, nancy, thank you. and raising the ship, how they plan to salvage the "costa condordia." the scale model used by the military to plan the bin laden raid. and how an eclipse will turn the sun into a ring of fire. when the "cbs evening news" continues. what makes the sleep number store different?
