Haha… got that email too. Bet it’s going to be less than $10 because so many people filed a claim. Don’t worry though, the class action lawyers will still get their millions, and that’s what REALLY matters with class action suits.
The funny part is inflation has been so high since this post that I no longer can take my wife to lunch on Zuck’s $$, lol.

Dear XYZ:
Your Claim Form submitted in the In re: Facebook, Inc. Consumer Privacy User Profile Litigation is approved. Your settlement payment will be issued in the next 3-4 business days. The payment method you selected to receive your settlement payment was Venmo.
If you have not received this payment in 30 days please reach out to info@facebookuserprivacysettlement.com.
For more information regarding your settlement payment please visit the settlement website: www.FacebookUserPrivacySettlement.com.
Sincerely,
Facebook User Privacy Settlement Administrator
Woohoo, gonna be able to retire in a few days with all my Facebook cash!
Google AI says payments are averaging about $30 per person but it’s based on how long you had facebook. Max is $38.26, min is $4.89. The lawyers are getting around $185 million though for trial fees and to administer the settlement payments, so another win for our completely corrupt class action system.

When looking for the “best” stock under a specific, lower dollar threshold like $4.68, you are inherently looking at the micro-cap or “penny stock” territory. Because stocks trading at this price point are highly speculative and volatile, Wall Street analysts rarely label a single one as an absolute “best.” Instead, the right choice depends heavily on which sector’s risks you are comfortable taking.
Rather than choosing blindly, it is helpful to look at a few distinct categories under $5 that are currently seeing notable market activity:
1. High-Growth AI & Tech Speculations
Many smaller companies are pivoting toward artificial intelligence infrastructure or software to fuel their growth.
Taboola (TBLA): Trading in the $3.50–$4.50 range, this digital ad-tech and content-recommendation platform uses AI to drive algorithmic feeds for publishers. It has recently shown robust financial swings, turning a previous net loss into positive quarterly sales and net income early this year, making it a highly watched pick for an absolute turnaround play.
Inuvo, Inc. (INUV): A much smaller, sub-$2 micro-cap, Inuvo builds AI-driven audience targeting engines (its flagship being IntentKey) designed to help brands advertise without relying on browser cookies. It is highly speculative but heavily aligned with privacy-centric tech shifts.
2. High-Risk, High-Reward Biotech
Biotech is the traditional home of sub-$5 stocks. These companies usually trade cheaply because they are burning cash to get a drug or device through clinical trials. If approved, they skyrocket; if they fail, they drop significantly.
Treace Medical Concepts (TMCI): Trading around $4.15, this medical technology company designs and manufactures specialized orthopedic devices (specifically for bunion surgery). It carries a stronger balance sheet than many traditional pre-revenue biotech firms.
TriSalus Life Sciences (TLSI): Positioned around the $4.00–$4.50 range, this clinical-stage oncology company focuses on specialized drug-delivery devices intended to penetrate hard-to-reach solid tumors.
3. Alternative Sectors: Energy and Defense
While many sub-$5 lists focus heavily on tech, some investors prefer tracking the junior players in traditional infrastructure, specialized energy (like junior uranium miners or alternative fuel sub-contractors), or niche defense suppliers. These industries face heavy regulation and massive capital requirements, meaning low-priced stocks here are either very early-stage or recovering from structural operational changes, but they often move dramatically alongside broader macroeconomic and geopolitical catalysts.
A Crucial Alternative: Fractional Shares
If your goal is to invest exactly $4.68 (or a similar small amount) rather than finding a stock whose entire share price is under $4.68, you don’t have to limit yourself to volatile penny stocks.
Most modern brokerages (like Fidelity, Charles Schwab, Robinhood, or Webull) offer fractional share trading. This allows you to put your exact dollar amount toward high-quality, blue-chip companies or stable ETFs. For example, your money could buy a tiny fraction of a major technology giant, a defense prime contractor, or a broad-market index fund, giving you exposure to stable, massive companies without the high volatility of micro-caps.
Disclaimer: Low-priced stocks carry substantial risk, low liquidity, and extreme price swings. Always conduct thorough fundamental research and consider your personal risk tolerance before investing.

Grok’s advise for getting rich off $4.68 was get off your ass and get a side hustle. 
With $4.68, you won’t get rich quickly through investing alone—anyone promising that is selling a fantasy. Markets are volatile, and tiny sums grow slowly even with strong returns. The math of compounding favors time and consistent additions far more than a one-time micro-deposit.
That said, here’s a realistic, no-BS plan for what I’d do in your shoes. The goal is to treat this as a starting habit while focusing on the real levers: increasing your income and building skills/discipline.
1. Immediate Action: Park It and Start the Habit (Low Effort)
• Open a micro-investing or brokerage account that supports fractional shares and has $0 minimums. Examples (as of 2026):
• Robinhood, Fidelity, Charles Schwab, or Stash: Buy fractions of stocks/ETFs with as little as $1–$5. No commissions on basic trades.
• Apps like Acorns for “round-ups” (spare change from purchases) once you have more spending.
• Put your $4.68 into a broad, low-cost index fund or ETF (e.g., something tracking the S&P 500). This gives diversification and historical average returns around 7–10% annually long-term (after inflation).
• Why? It starts the behavior. Seeing even tiny growth builds momentum. But expect it to stay small unless you add more regularly.
Realistic outcome: In a year with no additions, maybe $5–$5.50 if markets do well. Not life-changing.
2. The Real Path: Increase Your Income (This Is How People Actually Build Wealth)
Getting rich (or even financially secure) almost always comes from earning more, saving a chunk of it, and investing consistently over years—not gambling $4.68.
Start side hustles you can launch with near-zero money:
• Freelance skills online (writing, graphic design with free Canva, virtual assistance, data entry, tutoring): Platforms like Upwork, Fiverr. Many need no upfront cost.
• Gig economy: Delivery (DoorDash, Uber Eats), rideshare (if you have a car), pet sitting/walking (Rover), or house sitting. Some pay same-day.
• Sell stuff you already own: Clothes, electronics, unused items on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or Craigslist. Turn that into more seed money.
• Low/no-cost ideas: Online surveys/tasks (Swagbucks, etc.—small but easy), content creation (YouTube/TikTok in a niche you know), or local services like mowing lawns or errands.
Aim to turn your first $4–5 into $20–50 quickly, then repeat and scale. Track every dollar.
3. Long-Term Mindset Shifts
• Budget ruthlessly: Know where your money goes. Cut tiny leaks (subscriptions, impulse buys). Even on low income, many save 10–20% by living frugally.
• Build high-income skills: Free/cheap resources like YouTube, Khan Academy, Coursera (audit courses), or libraries for coding, sales, trade skills, AI tools, etc. The best “investment” is yourself—higher earnings compound massively.
• Avoid debt traps and get-rich-quick schemes (crypto pumps, options gambling, MLMs). High risk with small money usually = loss.
• Emergency fund first: Once you have $100–1,000 saved, protect it in a high-yield savings account before aggressive investing.
• Patience + consistency: $5/day invested over decades with market returns can grow huge, but it requires steady income to feed it.
Bottom Line
I’d deposit the $4.68 into a fractional-share brokerage today, pick a simple diversified ETF, and immediately hustle to make more money this week. Wealth comes from value creation + disciplined saving/investing over time, not magic from pocket change.
Start small, stay consistent, learn as you go, and focus on earning. Millions have climbed from less. You’ve got this—action beats wishing. What are your skills or interests? I can refine ideas for you.
