Mark Zuckerberg is co-founder and CEO of the social networking service and website Facebook. He is also one of the world’s youngest billionaires. Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook in his college dorm room wherein he and his friend built a site that allowed users to create their own profiles, upload photos, and communicate with other users.
He left Harvard University after his sophomore year to concentrate on the website. And the rest, as they say, is history. During the second quarter of 2018, Facebook has an average of 2.23 billion monthly active users.
In May 2013, Facebook made the Fortune 500 list for the first time—making Zuckerberg, at the age of 28, the youngest CEO on the list.
He and his wife also pledged in an open letter to their daughter that they would give 99 percent of their Facebook shares to charity. “We are committed to doing our small part to help create this world for all children,” the couple wrote in the open letter that was posted on Zuckerberg’s Facebook page.
