Is it possible that one day somebody could create such a good facebook application and become a billionaire?

I know that the facebook application platform is a goldmine for new ideas and developments, and I've heard of people making millions of dollars a month from their applications in some cases, and the way I see it, its better than having a website of your own to attract passing customers on the web to have your own facebook application instead and have it directed at potential customers, and every customer wanting it that its directed at. I think that in future, facebook will be much more massive than it is now and every web user will have an account on it meaning a much bigger market for application entrepreneurs. What I'd like to know is, if in future it gets this big and one day someone develops a killer application for facebook and every web user wants to use it (2 billion people!), could that facebook application developer become the first self-made facebook application billionaire? Will this be possible in future do you think?
