Etsy to buy fashion reseller Depop for $1.63B
I suppose it's not that much really. If you stick a P/E multiple of 20x on it then it's only annual earnings of $80M.

You only get that multiple if you're publicly listed. Usually for M&A the price is discounted from that, but this also varies widely by industry. Never do a hardware startup, for instance :)
