A new elite is gradually emerging on the global business arena. These are not the owners of factories, newspapers, steamboats in tuxedos and cigars, imposingly seated in the leather armchairs of men's clubs. Their average age is 35 years. They wear sweatshirts and backpacks. And most often they can be seen with laptops on their knees.
Where did their fortunes come from? The Internet is the field in which these boys-geniuses mow their "greens". Their brains work with incredibly high efficiency, bringing something new, interesting and exciting into our lives. Mark Zuckerberg is one of them. Perhaps the most famous, because he is the founder of Facebook - without a doubt, the most popular social network.
Some biographical facts. Date of birth: May 14, 1984. Hometown: New York. Parents: dentist and psychiatrist. Brothers, sisters: there are three sisters. Relationship Status: Married to Priscilla Chan. Education: incomplete higher (Harvard). Friends: 500 million.
The history of this grandiose project begins at Harvard, where Mark Zuckerberg entered. Facebook is not its first development. Back in the ninth grade, he developed a computer game. Then there was a program for a music player that independently compiled playlists for its owner.
Thenthe future founder of Facebook hacked into the database of his Alma Mater. For what? He pulled out photographs of female students and offered them on his website in pairs for evaluation. Of course, there was a huge scandal, the site was closed, Zuckerberg barely escaped expulsion. But the leadership did not take into account the resonance that the project had among the students.
So Facebook was born. At first, it united only Harvard students. Then Yale and Stanford joined. After significant investments that contributed to the growth of the project, the rules changed, and anyone could create an account on this social network.
Mark Zuckerberg, as the founder of Facebook, has become incredibly popular and rich. He is called the youngest millionaire in history. An excellent film called "The Social Network" was shot about him, which caused the widest public outcry, earned more than $ 200 million and received a lot of film awards, not to mention the nominations.
True, Zuckerberg himself, after watching the film, said that he learned a lot about himself. He mentioned not only distorted facts, but also a misinterpretation of motives. But Mark has nothing against David Kirpatrick's book The Social Network. How the founder of Facebook made 4 billion and gained 500 million friends.”
So what does it take to become a modern day millionaire? Mind, talent, the right people nearby, a lot of work, a drop of luck. But that's not all. You need to understand the fundamentals of this market, feel its fluctuations and have the courage to put forward your idea. Mark Zuckerberg would never have been so successfulif he had not possessed an incredible flair and maniacal passion.
By the way, now the founder of Facebook has gone into politics and even founded his own party. He expressed dissatisfaction with the US immigration policy. The current legislation, according to him, does not allow attracting smart and talented employees in the field of information technology from abroad. His party immediately became popular among the bigwigs of Silicon Valley.
