There are a few companies that might have made as greater mistakes, in terms of potential lose in dollars, as Yahoo has made till this day. The first Golden opportunity that Yahoo got was when Google co-founders (from Stanford) went to Yahoo co-founders (who were also from Stanford) asking them to buy Google for $1 million back in 1998. Shocked as you may be at the amount the Google couple was asking, the answer from Yahoo team was even shocking, they asked them to go built it on their own and come back when they have something substantial and some users willing to use it. It were those days when we were used to of search engines like Alta Vista, Excite and Lycos.
