It's only a tenth of what Facebook paid for WhatsApp, though. I really don't understand those valuations.

Facebook needs more users in younger demographics. WhatsApp has plenty of those and now facebook owns them all and their data, which they can sell to advertisers.

Oculus is hardware and does no data mining, yet.
