Mark Zuckerberg

When Mark Zuckerberg came up with Facebook, he was just a college boy. Sure, it is Harvard, and he knew how to code. However, many have been inspired that he launched the social media platform from his dorm room. By 2012, there were 1 billion users, and its popularity has quickly surged. Along with the rise of Facebook was Zuckerberg’s increase in net worth. At the age of 23, he became the youngest self-made billionaire.

Now, the social media mogul is worth at least $114 billion. He just celebrated his 37th birthday this May 2021. He is largely busy now attending one congressional hearing after another as he is involved in high-level firefighting for the many controversies surrounding Facebook, especially being called out for how it handles the data of its users. He had always said that just like a home security system, people’s data are secure.
