4.Mark Zuckerberg – $29.9 billion
The forth billionaire who dropped out of college is Mark Zuckerberg.
Net worth: $29.9 billion
Profession: Co-founder, chairman, and chief executive at Facebook
Fact: Zuckerberg’s 2013 salary: $1 per year ( along with Steve Jobs, Eric Schmidt, Larry Page and Sergey Brin)
Mark Zuckerberg launched Facebook in 2004 from his room in Harvard. Little did he know that it will become the world’s most visited website.
By the end of the year, the website counted over 1 million users, so Mark dropped out of college and moved to Silicon Valley to work on Facebook full-time. Facebook was the most visited site 3 years in a row, from 2010 until 2012.
Zuckerberg is allowed to buy 120 million shares of the company in the future, which would boost his net worth by $5.5 billion. If Facebook ever has the same market cap as Google ($200 billion), then Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth will be close to $40 billion.
All we can do is say a big Thank You to Mark, otherwise, where would we post our selfies?
#3 lost and remade his fortune twice!
