During Monday's trading session, Facebook’s stocks rose 4.18% to $355.64. As a result, the social network's capitalization increased to $1.01 trillion. It has taken Mark Zuckerberg's company 9 years since its IPO to reach a valuation of more than $1 trillion.

According to Yahoo Finance, the sharp rise in Facebook's stock price is related to a court ruling that has dismissed the FTC's antitrust lawsuit that could have caused a split in Facebook's business.
