3. The Fabulous Life Of Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg
Earlier this week, Facebook crushed its second quarter earnings and its stock hit
an all-time high — which really just means Mark Zuckerberg is one step closer to
being the richest man in the world.
Zuckerberg’s current net worth is about $33.1 billion, putting him at No. 16 in
Forbe’s ranking of the world’s billionaires. More impressively, he is one of just
three people who currently have more billions under their belt than years lived.
The Harvard dropout has clearly made it big thanks to the 2.2 billion people on
Facebook. He’s known for his charitable tendencies, but Zuckerberg also manages
to lead a pretty extravagant life at the same time.

4. Mark Zuckerberg was born
on May 14, 1984, in White
Plains, New York. He is the
son of dentist Edward
Zuckerberg and
psychiatrist Karen
Kempner.He grew up with
his three siblings in the
nearby town, Dobbs Ferry.
At the age of 12,
Zuckerberg used Atari
BASIC to create a
messaging program his
dad used in his dental
office

6. Zuckerberg went to Phillips Exeter
Academy, an exclusive preparatory
school in New Hampshire. While
still in high school, he created an
early music streaming platform,
which AOL and Microsoft showed
interest in, but were rebuffed by
young Zuck

8. Zuckerberg enrolled in Harvard
University in 2002, where he
quickly became known for his
developer skills. After his
sophomore year, he decided to
drop out and focus on “The
Facebook,” which he had been
running out of his dormroom.

9. Zuckerberg launched Facebook from his Harvard dormitory room on
February 4, 2004. An earlier inspiration for Facebook may have come
from Phillips Exeter Academy, the prep school from which Zuckerberg
graduated in 2002. It published its own student directory, “The Photo
Address Book,” which students referred to as “The Facebook.” Such
photo directories were an important part of the student social
experience at many private schools. With them, students were able to list
attributes such as their class years, their friends, and their telephone
numbers.
Once at college, Zuckerberg's Facebook started off as just a "Harvard
thing" until Zuckerberg decided to spread it to other schools, enlisting
the help of roommate Dustin Moskovitz. They began with Columbia, New
York University, Stanford, Dartmouth, Cornell, Penn, Brown, and Yale.
Samyr Laine, a triple jumper representing Haiti at the 2012 Summer
Olympics, shared a room with Zuckerberg during Facebook's founding.
"Mark was clearly on to great things," said Laine, who was Facebook's
fourteenth user

11. Before dropping out, Zuckerberg
met his now-wife, Priscilla Chan.
Chan told “Today’s” Savannah
Guthrie that they met at a frat
party. “On our first date, he told me
that he’d rather go on a date with
me than finish his take-home
midterm,” she said.

13. The two married on May 19, 2012
at a surprise wedding, where guests
thought they were attending a med
school graduation for Chan.

17. By the end of 2005, the site had
surpassed 5.5 million users and
received $12.7 million from Accel
Ventures.
