While owners cashed only 600 milions or something like this during IPO. The trick for big market cap is to sold only few percent (10-20) from your company during IPO, so every "joe 6 pack" fund manager is going to chase it and drive market cap significantly higher.
Facebook learned this lesson from other social media IPOs.
