2019-06-03 21:25:17 ​​Early Life and Education
Mark Zuckerberg was born on May 14, 1984 in White Plains, New York, and was raised in nearby Dobbs Ferry. He was born into a well-educated family and developed an interest in computer programming at an early age.

At the age of 12, Zuckerberg created a messaging program named Zucknet that he implemented as an inter-office communication system for his father's dental practice. Due to his early signs of success, his parents got him a computer programming tutor while he was still in high school, and they enrolled him in a prep school in New Hampshire.

After graduating from prep school, Zuckerberg enrolled in Harvard University.

Success Story
While many intelligent people attend Harvard University, Mark Zuckerberg became known quickly as the go-to computer programmer on campus. By his sophomore year, he had already built two programs: CourseMatch and FaceMash. Both programs became wildly popular, but the university shut down the latter program after it was deemed to be inappropriate.

Based on his acclaim on campus, Zuckerberg partnered with friends to create a social networking site that allowed Harvard students to connect with each other. The site officially went live in June 2004 under the name "The Facebook," and Zuckerberg ran it out of his dorm room.

After his sophomore year, Zuckerberg dropped out of college to pursue what was then called Facebook full-time. The website reached 1 million users by the end of 2004.

This explosion of user growth attracted the attention of many venture capital (VC) firms, and Zuckerberg eventually moved out to Silicon Valley in 2005. Facebook received its first round of venture capital investments from VC firm Accel Partners, which invested $12.7 million in the site that was still only open to Ivy League students.

By the end of 2005, however, Facebook had opened up to students attending other schools, causing the website to reach 5.5 million users. Since 2005, Facebook has received numerous acquisition offers from the likes of Yahoo and Microsoft, has been through legal battles, and has greatly increased the its users.

On July 25, 2018, Facebook released Q2 earnings. The company reported that daily active users averaged 1.47 billion for June 2018, an increase of 11% year-over-year. Monthly active users totaled 2.23 billion as of June 30, 2018, an increase of 11% year-over-year. As of July 30, 2018, the company has a market cap of $483 billion. Zuckerberg owns 14.18 million Class A Facebook shares in a series of funds, as of July 25, 2018. He also owns 441.6 million Class B shares. With control of over nearly 89% of Class B shares, Zuckerberg holds 60% of voting rights in the company. Open / Comment
