A machine with the properties proposed has existed for decades, creating
great puzzles and legends all its own.
Use Google and look up "Testatika". At a forum at Temple University some
years ago, I talked to a lecturer who had actually seen the device and
watched it operate. reportedly it self-ran, once started, and lit a 300 W
incandescent lamp.

Has there ever been an IPO of that magnitude?
Yes. Biggest one I found in a quick Google search was $19 billion, by
Industrial & Commercial Bank of China. See:

There have been other "monster IPOs" as well. However, the really big
ones are typically either for long-established companies that have been
going concerns for a long, long time, but just had never gone public, or
they're for spinoffs which were wholly owned subsidiaries of larger
companies until the IPO.
For a new company with little income and a few dozen employees the numbers
are normally much, much smaller.
