The king of social media and CEO of Facebook

Summary

The founder and CEO of Facebook. Born May 14, 1984, Zuckerberg got sent to Harvard where, in an event so notable there's a generation-defining Oscar-winning movie about it, he developed a single unified website for all the students to catch up with each other and socialise outside of class. This expanded into the Facebook you know today. He got into lawsuits with both his former CFO and the Winklevoss Twins.

Lawsuit Emails

In April, 2011, yet another lawsuit involving Facebook revealed some emails and documents sent by Mark to various people including a then business partner.

Want Your Money Back?

"Paul, I have become too busy to deal with the site and no one wants to pay for it, so I am thinking of just taking the server down. My parents have a fund that I can tap into for my college expenses and I would just like to give you your two thousand dollars back and call it even on the rest of the money you owe me for the extra work. At this point I wont even really be able to work on the facebook until Summer."

You mad, tho?

"Paul, I am guessing that you don't want to talk to me but I wanted to say happy birthday and that I hope to resolve our differences. I see that what I did was wrong and I am really sorry that I behaved as I did. Please give me your address and I will mail you back the $2000 for your trouble, more if it will repair our business relationship. Another summer is here and I still don't have ant time to built our site, I understand that I promised I would, but other things have come up and I am out in California working during break. I just don't want the obligation of having to answer to your for not following through and I won't be able to.
Best,
Mark"
