18 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Mark (facebook Owner) by breezy900: 2:15pm On Aug 03, 2014
[b]Unless you are coming from
Mars, you must have heard
or even created a Facebook
account to socialize with
friends and family. We all
owe this to a young
billionaire/entrepreneur
who is currently the CEO of
Facebook Inc, Mark
Zuckerburg.
Here are some interesting
yet little known facts you
probably never knew about
the 30 year old Social
Network “Hero”.
1. Where you wondering
why blue was the choice
color for Facebook? Well,
Mark is red and green color
blind. Meaning he sees more
of blue than any other color.
He once reportedly said to
ABC News, “Blue is the
richest color for me. I can
see all of blue.”
2. He got job offers when he
was still in high school from
both AOL and Microsoft after
he created Synapse, a
program that used artificial
intelligence to learn users’
music-listening habits.
3. Mark Zuckerberg’s interest
in programming was actually
triggered by his parents
after they gifted him the
book C++ for Dummies.
4. He invented Facemash in
2003. A program that he
created for finding out who
the most attractive person
on campus was, and that
was a year before creating
facebook. The domain
Facemash.com was later sold
in 2010 for $30201.
5. You can’t block Mark on
facebook.
6. He started Facebook with
the domain
TheFacebook.com on
February 4th, 2004. It was
actually meant for university
grads back then, but was
thrown open to the public in
2006.
7. In Facebook’s early days,
Mark used to hand out a
business card that read “I’m
CEO B***h”.
8. He owns a Hungarian
sheepdog named Beast, who
has a Facebook page with
1.5 million fans.
9. When Mark applied into
Harvard University, he listed
French, Hebrew, Latin, and
ancient Greek as languages
he could read and write.
10. Mark started learning
Mandarin-Chinese in 2010 to
be able to communicate with
his girl friend’s (Chan) family
since they were Chinese.
11. He got married to Chan
on May 19, 2012 in the
backyard of the newlyweds’
Palo Alto, Calif., home.
12. By July 2011, Zuckerberg
became the most-followed
user on Google’s social
network Google+, overtaking
Google co-founders Larry
Page and Sergey Brin.
13. You can find Mark on
Twitter @finkd with over
300K followers as at time of
post and just 19 tweets.
14. Zuckerberg considers
himself an atheist.
15. He has remained a
Vegetarian since 2011.
16. His favorite musicians
include Daft Punk, Lady Gaga,
Shakira and Rihanna.
17. He became the world’s
youngest billionaire at the
age of 23 in 2008 according
to a Forbes estimate. Then,
he was ranked 785 on the
World’s Billionaires list.
18. His full name is Mark Elliot
Zuckerberg and he was born
on May 14, 1984, in White
Plains, New York into a
comfortable, well-educated
family.
