Facebook’s Main Face

April 10th, 2009

Envy is bad. But I envy Mark Zuckerberg. He’s much younger than me but already in Forbes with a billion! I envy Zuckerberg but I admire him a bit too. He’s a smart guy, I should say. Not every Harvard alumnus can boast of being CEO of one of the most influential social networks on the planet. What is more amazing is that he could start the career just after graduating from school:  Microsoft and AOL tried to recruit him.

It’s unbelievable but Mark and his roommates started Facebook in 2004 from their dormitory and on the 8th of April 2009 it was announced about a 200 millionth user. After spreading their social network to other schools including Yale and Stanford, Zuckerberg moved to California not to ever come back to Harvard as a student.  In California the future owner of the most influential social online community met Peter Thiel who invested money in the promising project.

The current situation is: Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest person ever appeared in Forbes 400, the 321st richest person in the US as on 2008, his enterprise is $15 billion worth with 200million users all over the world. Not bad for a guy of 24.
