SNAPCHAT is a business built in large part on disappearing messages and adding animated dog ears and flower crowns to users' selfies.
As at Thursday, that business is worth about US$34 billion - more than the market value of the old-line media company CBS, and about three times the size of another social media company, Twitter. Snapchat has made paper billionaires of its 20-something founders five times over.
