year on new acquisitions, positioning his social network to
ride the next hot trend. After secret meetings, Zuck sealed
a deal in February for Facebook to buy mobile messaging app
WhatsApp for a staggering $19 billion in cash and stock,
shocking the tech world. The following month it spent $2
billion on virtual reality headset maker Oculus VR, before
it even had a product ready to sell. Facebook stock has
soared, adding $15 billion to Zuck's net worth over the

global market. There are now more than a billion active
Android devices, one for every seven people. CEO Larry
Page oversaw a string of acquisitions in the past year,
including programmable home thermostat maker Nest

responsibilities to Sundar Pichai so he could focus on longer-term
strategy. Cofounder Brin runs Google X, the secretive division of the
search engine company that focuses on risky projects, such as self-driving cars,
