Mark Zuckerberg was born on May 14 1984 and is now the worlds youngest billionaire. He co-founded Facebook while he was at Harvard in 2004. He had some background information in computers and started a seemingly simple website. The site soon exploded and became a worldwide name. Now everybody uses Facebook or at least has heard of it before. The site now has over 500 million users world wide and will continue to grow. He is a great example of a self made billionaire and shows that simple ideas may be huge.
There was a recent movie that came out called "The Social Network" in October 2010. This movie is based on Zuckerberg's time at Harvard University and the founding of the site. He believes that the movie is a little over the top and fake at times. The movie was more keen on making it entertaining than making it true. There has been a lot of controversey regarding the website and its founding, but it is still one of the most popular websites in the world.
