Citing unnamed industry sources “close to the situation,” Bloomberg says the San Francisco company’s value—currently $3.5 billion— could triple if it secures investments from private equity firms. The $10 billion valuation would align Uber with another sharing-economy giant, Airbnb, which was valued at $10 billion recently. Uber did not immediately respond to TIME’s request for comment on the report. \[[_Bloomberg_](http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-05-15/uber-said-to-be-in-funding-talks-for-more-than-10b-value.html "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/102074/uber-valuation-10b-report/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/102074/uber-valuation-10b-report/"},"headline":"Report: Uber Nearing $10B Valuation","datePublished":"2014-05-15T21:59:39.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T07:52:38.595Z","description":"Bloomberg reports the company is in talks with investors that could triple the ride-share company's value if secured","url":"https://time.com/102074/uber-valuation-10b-report/","keywords":["Airbnb","Companies","Uber","valuation"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd2c0ee41e4d934b4/69868fce3bc99973931a3833/uber.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Maya Rhodan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/maya-rhodan/"}],"articleSection":"World","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd2c0ee41e4d934b4/69868fce3bc99973931a3833/uber.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Uber","caption":"Uber","creditText":"Evelyn Hockstein—The Washington Post/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/102074/uber-valuation-10b-report/","name":"Report: Uber Nearing $10B Valuation"}}]}] ```
