They weren't just a search engine; they were the front page of the digital world and the undisputed king of the empire. At its peak, Yahoo was worth $125 billion. But in 2016, the story ended in a humiliating "funeral" when Verizon bought the remains for just $4.8 billion.

THE NUMBERS: -Peak Market Value: $125 billion. -Final Sale Price: $4.8 billion. -The "Google Typo": Yahoo rejected buying Google for a measly $1 million. -The "Facebook Insult": Lost a $1.2 trillion company over a $150 million "discount". -The Microsoft Lifeline: Arrogantly rejected a $44.6 billion buyout offer. -The Security Disaster: 3 billion accounts compromised -the largest breach in history.
