Mark Zuckerberg was born on May 14, 1984, in White Plains, New York, the second of four children born to dentist Edward Zuckerberg and his wife, psychiatrist Karen Zuckerberg. Mark and his three sisters, Randi, Donna, and Arielle, were raised in Dobbs Ferry, New York, a sleepy, well-to-do town on the eastern bank of the Hudson River.

Zuckerberg began using and programming computers in middle school, with the active support of his father. Edward taught the 11-year-old Mark Atari BASIC , and then hired a software developer David Newman to give his son private lessons. In 1997 when Mark was 13, he created a computer network for his family he called ZuckNet, which allowed the computers in his home and his father's dental office to communicate via Ping, a primitive version of AOL's Instant Messenger that came out in 1998. He also developed computer games, such as a computer version of Monopoly and a version of Risk set in the Roman Empire.

Early Computing

For two years, Zuckerberg attended public high school Ardsley and then transferred to the Phillips Exeter Academy, where he excelled in classical studies and science. He won prizes for math, astronomy, and physics. By his high school graduation, Zuckerberg could read and write French, Hebrew, Latin, and ancient Greek.

For his senior project at Exeter, Zuckerberg wrote a music player called the Synapse Media Player that used artificial intelligence to learn the user's listening habits and recommend other music. He posted it online on AOL and it received thousands of positive reviews. Both Microsoft and AOL offered to buy Synapse for $1 million and hire Mark Zuckerberg as a developer, but he turned them both down and instead enrolled at Harvard University in September 2002.

Harvard University

Mark Zuckerberg attended Harvard University, where he studied psychology and computer science. In his sophomore year, he wrote a program he called Course Match, which allowed users to make class selection decisions based on the choices of other students and also to help them form study groups .

He also invented Facemash, a program with the stated purpose of finding out who was the most attractive person on campus. Users would look at two pictures of people of the same sex and pick which was the "hottest," and the software compiled and ranked the results. It was an astounding success, but it bogged down the network at Harvard, people's pictures were being used without their permission, and it was offensive to people, particularly women's groups, on campus. Zuckerberg ended the project and apologized to the women's groups, saying he thought of it as a computer experiment. Harvard put him on probation.

Inventing Facebook

Zuckerberg's roommates at Harvard included Chris Hughes, a literature and history major; Billy Olson, a theater major; and Dustin Moskovitz, who was studying economics. There is no doubt that the conversational stew that occurred among them spurred and enhanced many of the ideas and projects that Zuckerberg was working on.

While at Harvard, Mark Zuckerberg founded TheFacebook, an application intended to be a reliable directory based on real information about students at Harvard. That software eventually led to the February 2004 launch of Facebook .

Marriage and Family

In his second year of college at Harvard University , Zuckerberg met medical student Priscilla Chan. In September 2010, Zuckerberg and Chan began living together, and on May 19, 2012, they were married. Today, Chan is a pediatrician and philanthropist. The couple has two children, Maxima Chan Zuckerberg (born December 1, 2015) and August Chan Zuckerberg (born August 28, 2017).

The Zuckerberg family is of Jewish heritage, although Mark has stated he is an atheist. As of 2019, Mark Zuckerberg's personal wealth was estimated to be more than $60 billion. Together, he and his wife founded the philanthropic Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, to leverage technology to support the aims of science, education, justice, and opportunity. 

Mark is currently president and chief executive officer of Facebook and works at the company's office in Menlo Park, California. Other company executives include chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg and chief financial officer Mike Ebersman.

Zuckerberg Quotes

"By giving people the power to share, we're making the world more transparent."

"When you give everyone a voice and give people power, the system usually ends up in a really good place. So, what we view our role as, is giving people that power."

"The web is at a really important turning point right now. Up until recently, the default on the web has been that most things aren’t social and most things don’t use your real identity. We’re building toward a web where the default is social."

The Journey of Mark Zuckerberg: From Harvard Dropout to Tech Visionary

• by history tools
• March 26, 2024

Mark Elliot Zuckerberg demonstrated a gifted intellect and intense focus from childhood. Born on May 14, 1984 in White Plains, New York, Zuckerberg displayed an uncanny ability to hyperfocus and taught himself computer programming at the age of 10. His father, a dentist named Edward Zuckerberg, recalled his son‘s determination to absorb everything he could about a topic in short periods of intense concentration.

Zuckerberg first tapped into his budding technical skills to help connect his family when he built ZuckNet—a private instant messaging system for his father‘s home office and waiting room. Though simple, the feat offered a preview of Zuckerberg’s creative approach to coding and passion for building communication tools.

Nurturing a Budding Programming Prodigy

Recognizing their middle child‘s exceptional abilities, Zuckerberg’s parents hired private computer tutor David Newman to foster his skills. Over the next three years, Newman worked intensively with the young prodigy, teaching him more complex programming abilities and providing college-level instruction.

Zuckerberg put his expanding technical prowess to work by creating an artificial intelligence software program called Synapse Media Player while still in high school. The Spotify-like music recommendation engine attracted interest from major companies, including AOL and Microsoft, who looked into acquiring it and hiring the teenager behind it. Zuckerberg chose to keep ownership of Synapse and focus on his university studies.

At Phillips Exeter Academy, an exclusive preparatory high school in New Hampshire, Zuckerberg excelled academically and earned stellar SAT scores. He continued to program in his spare time, creating a version of the classic game Risk and developing several tools to help the Exeter community connect online.

Accepted to Harvard University in 2002, Zuckberg originally planned to major in psychology before eventually switching to computer science. As early signs of the boundary-breaking visionary to come, Zuckerberg created CourseMatch to help students choose classes based on others’ selections and Facemash, which controversially ranked students’ attractiveness.

Transforming Social Interaction with Facebook

As a sophomore computer science major in early 2004, Zuckerberg and classmates came together to work on the initial concept for an exclusive Harvard social network. While contributing to that foundational work, Zuckerberg quickly saw the opportunity for a social media platform with mainstream appeal.

On February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg purchased the web domain name facebook.com and began quietly building the site with a small group of Harvard friends. Utilizing his programming skills, the 19-year-old launched "The Facebook" from his dorm room on February 4, 2004 along with co-founders Dustin Moskovitz, Chris Hughes and Eduardo Saverin.

The social media platform delivered a radical new way for college students to connect online. Users could create personal profiles with photos, interests, relationship statuses and contact information while also interacting with schoolmates through messaging or posts.

Within 24 hours of launch, over 1,000 Harvard students registered for accounts. Over half the undergraduate population had profiles within the first month. Fueled by this viral adoption, The Facebook expanded to more Boston universities, the Ivy League network and eventually other universities.

The runaway success convinced Zuckerberg to take a leave of absence during his junior year to relocate operations from Harvard‘s dorms to Palo Alto, the heart of startup culture in Silicon Valley. He soon decided to drop out of university altogether at age 20 along with Moscovitz to dedicate all efforts towards his increasingly popular creation.

Speaking to Harvard’s student newspaper The Crimson about that pivotal choice in 2005, Zuckerberg showed conviction in his world-changing idea: "I knew that Facebook had to be complex and I wanted to maintain control over it, instead of just letting someone else build it for short-term gain."

Accelerating Growth and Innovations

In summer 2004, venture capital firm Accel led Facebook‘s $500,000 in Series A funding, valuing the company at $5 million. Zuckerberg used the infusion to hire more staff and switch to servers that could handle increasing traffic.

Over the next two years, Facebook unveiled updates including the news feed for scanning friends‘ activities, introduction of high schools networks, its first foreign office in London, and launch events to start building hype. An August 2006 redesign helped monthly users soar from around 6 million to 12 million.

As CEO, Zuckerberg facilitated key innovations in Facebook’s features and capabilities while pursuing an ambitious vision for its future. Some of the most pivotal offerings rolled out under his oversight include:

September 2006

• Everyone becomes part of one network with the News Feed May 2007
• Facebook Platform allows outside developers to build apps March 2009
• Facebook Connect opens the network to other websites

Zuckerberg also led multiple initiatives focused on improving internet accessibility around the world to enable more people to use Facebook. Internet.org, launched in 2013, aimed to make online services available to underserved locations by partnering with local mobile operators to offer resources free of data charges.

By driving mainstream adoption and an open ecosystem for third-party apps, Zuckerberg succeeded in establishing the first truly ubiquitous social technology. Facebook passed MySpace in 2008 to become the world’s most-used social media platform with 100 million active users and transformed Zuckerberg into one of tech‘s youngest billionaires.

Buying Out the Competition

As Facebook attracted more monthly active users every year, Zuckerberg directed acquisitions of one-time rivals like Instagram and WhatsApp to eliminate competitive threats.

In April 2012, Facebook purchased Instagram for $1 billion when the photo-sharing app had 30 million users, but showed fast growth. Critics viewed the astronomical price tag as excessive, especially given Instagram‘s lack of revenue.

Zuckerberg saw deeper long-term value in integrating with Facebook’s social graph. The acquisition removed a competitor, gave Facebook ownership over Instagram’s data, and allowed easier photo integration into users’ feeds. Instagram‘s founders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger promised users the apps would remain separate.

However, Zuckerberg increasingly pushed integration like requiring Instagram accounts use Facebook login credentials. Critics argue this was mainly to funnel more user data back to Facebook.

Facebook followed its largest acquisition to date by purchasing global communication service WhatsApp in 2014 at the eye-popping cost of over $19 billion ($40 per user). Via these ambitious and aggressive moves, Zuckerberg ushered Facebook into a dominant position with ownership over four of the world’s biggest messaging apps.

The Road to Wall Street Riches

Zuckerberg always maintained that realizing his vision mattered far more than money. But Facebook‘s rising valuation meant its CEO joined the ranks of the richest people in tech and the world.

In 2005, Zuckerberg rejected Yahoo’s acquisition offer of $1 billion likely because he wasn’t ready to abandon his creation or leadership role. Microsoft reportedly later made a $15 billion bid which did not entice Facebook either.

In September 2006, Facebook accepted $500 million from Microsoft at a $15 billion total valuation. The deal gave Microsoft 1.6% ownership of Facebook and lined Zuckerberg’s pockets with $240 million based on his ownership stake.

On May 18, 2012, eight years after launching in Harvard’s dorms, Facebook held one of tech’s largest ever public offerings. Its IPO raised $16 billion, valuing the company at $104 billion and making billionaires out of Zuckerberg and early executives.

Zuckerberg has since hovered between 3rd to 5th richest person in the world with a net worth of $67 billion as of July 2022. He‘s used those riches to buy houses in Palo Alto, San Francisco and Kauai, Hawaii while also signing Bill Gates and Warren Buffet‘s Giving Pledge in 2010.

Buying Future Success with Meta Platforms Rebrand

After almost 20 years focused strictly on software, Zuckerberg enacted one of his most shocking pivots by steering Facebook towards hardware for creating immersive digital worlds full of avatars and 3D environments.

In 2014, Facebook acquired Oculus VR for $2 billion to drive more investment into virtual reality technology and products. Follow-up purchases expanded Facebook‘s AR/VR holdings and staff dedicated to building device experiences.

Speaking at Oculus Connect that year, Zuckerberg shared his futuristic vision:

“After games, we’re going to make Oculus a platform for many other experiences…Imagine enjoying a court side seat at a game, studying in a classroom of students and teachers all over the world or consulting with a doctor face-to-face just by putting on goggles in your home.”

The pursuit of that goal drove Facebook to take on a new corporate identity more aligned with Zuckerberg‘s vision for the coming digital age. On October 28, 2021, Zuckerberg revealed Facebook would rebrand as Meta Platforms to reflect its focus on bringing the "metaverse" to life.

Meta‘s Facebook Reality Labs division combines Oculus, augmented reality innovation, and future headset hardware into one AR/VR entity. Experts believe Zuckerberg chose this expensive gamble because Meta‘s social media business shows signs of plateauing.

Buying Oculus, investing billions into custom silicon and display tech, and rebranding to Meta all underscore Zuckerberg‘s belief that the next computing revolution will happen in shared 3D worlds. If he succeeds, it may cement his legacy as a transformative Silicon Valley icon.

Balancing Innovation Leadership, Personal Values and Controversies

Throughout his tenure guiding the Facebook juggernaut, Zuckerberg earned respect as a leader who moves boldly and builds for the long-term. However, his relentless fixation on global growth at all costs has resulted in questionable privacy practices, dangerous amplification of misinformation, and accusations of monopolistic business tactics.

Zuckerberg exercises near complete control as CEO/chairman with majority voting shares despite owning just 28% of total stock. Early on, Zuckerberg spoke about Facebook‘s mission to make the world more open and connected. Yet critics argue Facebook‘s actual business practices too often diverge from users‘ interests.

Facebook earned the bulk of its profits by monetizing data about people‘s behaviors, interests and demographics. But oversight missteps enabled malfeasance like Cambridge Analytica weaponizing that data for political ads.

The platform‘s core news feed also excessively pushed viral "clickbait" to boost engagement over meaningful content. Experts criticized Facebook‘s failure to safeguard elections from misinformation campaigns. Democracies faced rising extremism and divisions due to the algorithms optimized for outrage.

When confronted over such risks directly enabled by Facebook technology, Zuckerberg defaulted to familiar talking points:

• Greater connectivity brings people together.
• Misuse is only a small fraction of activity.
• Addressing flaws is highly complex.

Facebook shareholders and former employees argue the CEO-controlled board structure limits accountability regarding toxic impacts. And Zuckerberg often remains either silent or slow to engage major controversies related to data abuses, misinformation spread, and anticompetitive acquisition practices.

Criticisms Mount as Power Grows

In July 2020, Zuckerberg had to testify before Congress on anti-competitive practices along with other Big Tech CEOs. Lawmakers questioned acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp that removed future rivals which could have challenged Facebook‘s dominance in social media. Zuckerberg claimed the services were acquired legally and benefit consumers.

Facebook also faces antitrust charges filed in late 2020 from the Federal Trade Commission and 46 states. The lawsuits call for Facebook to potentially unwind the Instagram and WhatsApp deals. If successful, the effort would constitute the biggest check on Zuckerberg‘s power to date.

On September 13, 2021, a Wall Street Journal investigation revealed Facebook knew Instagram posed mental health dangers for teen girls obsessed with body image and measuring their worth through "likes." Nevertheless, Facebook moved forward with a version of Instagram for even younger children.

Fallout from the scandal and pressure from lawmakers forced Zuckerberg to pause work on Instagram Kids. The relentless cycle of transparency issues further hurts public faith in Zuckerberg‘s leadership.

Zuckerberg the Billionaire Philanthropist

Despite reputational hits and calls for accountability, Zuckerberg continues directing FB’s trajectory with unilateral authority. Though he‘s pledged to donate 99% of his Facebook shares through philanthropic initiatives, Zuckerberg still retains control via a special class of shares.

In December 2015, Zuckerberg and Chan announced the launch of their philanthropic initiative, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. The limited liability company aims to advance human potential and equality through projects in education, science. and criminal justice reform.

CZI originally planned to focus efforts over Zuckerberg‘s lifetime before distributing remaining funds to fulfill their Giving Pledge. However, financial statements later confirmed CZI will not strictly act as a philanthropic venture and retains flexibility to make political donations and investments seeking returns.

Balancing Tech Visionary Goals with Real-World Family

At age 28 in May 2012, Zuckerberg married Priscilla Chan during a surprise backyard ceremony at their Palo Alto rental home, which also doubled as Facebook’s first headquarters. He proposed to Chan, a long-time girlfriend he met at a Harvard fraternity party, weeks after Facebook went public.

In June 2015, Zuckerberg announced the arrival of the couple’s first child, Max, followed by daughter August two years later. He vowed to take two months off for both births, part of leading by example on parental leave policy.

The famous workaholic still invests 80-to-90 hour weeks pushing Meta’s vision. Nevertheless, he embraces fatherhood on his own terms, teaching Max Mandarin and coding. Zuckerberg even built Jarvis, an AI voice assistant to control appliances and security, take family photos and simplify his home life as a busy exec.

Zuckerberg remains one of the most polarizing technology luminaries reshaping society. Supporters revere his innovation leadership and critics condemn his profitable indifference to real-world harm. At just 38 years old and astride a dominant social media platform evolving into a so-called “metaverse company”, Zuckerberg will continue wielding unmatched influence over billions of digital lives.

Lifetime of Achievement: Mark Zuckerberg

Mark Zuckerberg is the founder, chairman and CEO of Meta , which he originally founded as Facebook in 2004. He is responsible for setting the overall direction and product strategy for the company.

Born in 1984 in White Plains, New York, Zuckerberg's fascination with technology began early. As a teenager, he built a music player called Synapse, which caught the attention of Microsoft and AOL. He attended Phillips Exeter Academy, a prestigious preparatory school, where he excelled in fencing and academics. In 2002, he enrolled at Harvard University, studying computer science and psychology.

At Harvard, Zuckerberg started creating software programs, including CourseMatch, which helped students choose classes based on their peers' selections. In 2004, he launched TheFacebook, as it was initially named, from his dorm room. The platform, designed to connect Harvard students, quickly gained popularity and expanded to other universities. Zuckerberg, joined by his college roommates Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes, dropped out of Harvard to focus on Facebook full-time, moving to Palo Alto, California in 2004.

Fueled by venture capital and strategic acquisitions, Facebook's reach expanded rapidly. In the following years it became a global phenomenon, attracting billions of users and transforming how people connect and share information. In the 20 years since its founding the company has built an empire of social media platforms, including Instagram , Threads and Whatsapp .

In October 2021, Facebook rebranded to Meta to reflect all of its products and services across its family of apps and a focus on developing social experiences for the metaverse — moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology.

“We believe the metaverse will be the successor to the mobile internet,” Zuckerberg explained at the company’s Connect event in 2021. “We’ll be able to feel present, like we’re right there with people, no matter how far apart we actually are. We’ll be able to express ourselves in new, joyful, completely immersive ways and that’s going to unlock a lot of amazing new experiences.”

In 2012, Zuckerberg married Priscilla Chan, a philanthropist and physician. Together, they established the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI), founded in 2015 to help solve some of society’s toughest challenges – from eradicating disease and improving education, to addressing the needs of local communities. Through collaboration, providing resources and building technology, CZI’s mission is to help build a more inclusive, just and healthy future for everyone.

As of today, Zuckerberg remains the CEO and controlling shareholder of Meta Platforms. He continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of online communication, facing new challenges such as regulating content, combating online harms and building the Metaverse, a virtual world with the potential to redefine social interaction.

Meta has also made moves in the field of artificial intelligence. In January 2024, the tech giant revealed that it had officially started training Llama 3 - the latest generation of its generative AI (Gen AI) model - to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI).

“Our long term vision is to build general intelligence, open source it responsibly, and make it widely available so everyone can benefit,” Zuckerberg said. 

“We're currently training our next-gen model Llama 3, and we're building massive compute infrastructure to support our future roadmap.”

Time named Zuckerberg one of the most influential people in the world in 2008, 2011, 2016 and 2019, and nominated him as a finalist several other times. He was named the Time Person of the Year in 2010, the same year when Facebook eclipsed more than half a billion users.
