Mark Zuckerberg

The founder of Facebook is a young American man who goes by the name Mark Zuckerberg. Well, that is his name. Whilst it is Zuckerberg who is generally considered the websites founder, he actually co-founded the site with his university classmates Dustin Moskovitz, Eduardo Saverin, and Chris Hughes. They were not just any old bunch of classmates of course, they were Harvard students. Zuckerberg was born in White Plains, New York, on May 14th 1985 – making him just 25 at the time of me writing this page. His current net worth is estimated at $2bn and Time Magazine named him one of The World’s Most Influential People of 2008, ranking at 52nd out of 101 in the ‘Scientists & Thinkers’ category.
