CityVille and FarmVille-maker Zynga is raising $500 million at a $10 billion valuation, Kara Swisher reports.
The money is from big investors T. Rowe Price, Fidelity and Morgan Stanley.
Maybe you're mutual fund-stuffed 401(k) just got some Zynga exposure.
Zynga makes all its money selling virtual goods to Facebook addicted to Zynga's games.

It's a model that works, obviously. Zynga revenues should reach $1 billion, sources tell Kara.
For context, consider that NASDAQ-traded Electronic Art's market cap is around $6 billion.
