Mark Elliot "Zuck" Zuckerberg (born May 14, 1984) is an American entrepreneur
who co-founded the social networking site Facebook. Zuckerberg co-founded Facebook
with fellow classmates Dustin Moskovitz, Eduardo Saverin, and Chris Hughes while
attending Harvard. He is a 24% shareholder of Facebook. Zuckerberg was born in
White Plains, New York to Karen, a psychiatrist, and Edward, a dentist.[3]
Mark and
three sisters, Randi, Donna, and Arielle, were brought up in Dobbs Ferry, New York.[3]
Zuckerberg's parents are Jewish,[4]
but he considers himself an atheist.[5]
Zuckerberg started programming when he was in middle school. Early on, he enjoyed
developing computer programs, especially communication tools and games. He studied
at Ardsley High School where he excelled in the classics, before transferring in his
junior year to Phillips Exeter Academy where he immersed himself in Latin.[6][7]
He also designed and programmed a computer application system to help the workers in
his father's office communicate; he built a version of the game Risk, and under the
company name Intelligent Media Group, he built a music player named the Synapse
Media Player that used artificial intelligence to learn the user's listening habits, which
was posted to Slashdot[8]
and received a rating of 3 out of 5 from PC Magazine.[9]
Microsoft and AOL tried to purchase Synapse and recruit Zuckerberg, but he instead
went to Harvard College in September 2002 where he joined Alpha Epsilon Pi, a Jewish
fraternity, and studied computer science.[3][10]
In his sophomore year at Harvard, he met
his current girlfriend, Priscilla Chan.[3]
In college, he was known for reciting lines from
