Groupon Watch: Lefkofsky a Billionaire, LivingSocial Aims for $6 Billion

It probably won’t come as a surprise that Groupon co-founder Eric Lefkofsky is a billionaire, according to Forbes’ annual list of richest Americans. LivingSocial may raise more than $200 million in funding that would give it a valuation of as much as $6 billion, rather than heading toward its IPO soon. Also, religious groups – some offering deals on challah, some offering discounts on Christian albums  – are getting into the daily deal market. There’ll be a Muslim site soon, too. Read more:
