This bio on Mark Zuckerberg will be short because you have probably been bombarded with his story all over the place. I am going to tell you instead about how he became so rich. Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest richest person in the world. He is 27 years old and his net worth is 17.5 Billion Dollars as of September 2011 according to Forbes. Mark Zuckerberg was born in White Plains, NY in 1984. His parents are Jewish but he does not follow the Jewish faith. In fact he is an atheist. In the early days Mark loved programming computers, communication tools and games. He attended Ardsley High School and then attended Phillips Academy.
Mark really liked to write software even when he was in middle school. When Mark was at Phillips Academy he studied Latin, and studied computer programing.and he built a communication program to help his father's office employees. He also built a music player called Synapse Media Player that was used to research what people listened to. Mark had offers to buy his media player from large companies like AOL and Microsoft but he turned them down and chose to go to Harvard College instead, in September 2002, and then he joined a Jewish fraternity called Alpha Epsilon Pi.
In February 2004 Mark and his roommate Dustin Moskovitz and his best friend Eduardo Saverin, started the launch of Facebook from their Harvard dormitory room. The thought to start Facebook came while he was attending Phillips Academy. Most colleges and prep schools, have an annual student directory which include head shots of students, and school staff known as the "Facebook". When Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook started, it was just a "Harvard thing" and then he decided to get other schools to check out Facebook, First it spread to Stanford, and then it spread to Dartmouth, Columbia, and then to other schools with social contacts with Harvard.
Although there has been some recent controversy with privacy issues Facebook is still the number one social website in the world!
