1998: Yahoo refuses to buy Google for $1 Million
2002: Yahoo realizes its mistake & tries to buy Google for $3 Billion. Google wants $5 Billion & Yahoo walks away
2008: Yahoo refuses to be sold to Microsoft for $40 Billion
2016: Yahoo sold for $4.8 Billion to Verizon, the same company that last year bought AOL

RIP Yahoo
