Valued at $31 billion in 2017, raised $4.4 billions.

Probably at least worth between 50 and 100 billions now, I would say $80-$120 billions.

YC will be funded for a couple centuries with that IPO.

Just an FYI from a native english speaker - sums of money do not use the plural version of the value unit.

i.e. should be "raised $4.4 billion" not "raised $4.4 billions"

I would debate the phrasing of that answer. The value unit ($) is implicitly pluralized. Fully written out, that phrase would be "four point four billion dollars". The value unit is pluralized, but the numbers are not pluralized.
