Mark Zuckerberg has been chosen as Time magazine’s person of the year 2010, “for changing how we all live our lives in ways that are innovative and even optimistic.”
Mr Zuckerberg excelled at science and classics at Ardsley High School before going on to Harvard to study computer science. Zuckerberg created the social networking site Facebook in his penultimate year at Harvard with his flatmates and fellow Harvard students Dustin Moskovitz, Chris Hughes and Eduardo Saverin. At first only available to Harvard students, Facebook’s popularity soon spiraled and the site expanded to surrounding universities. Today Facebook is nearing 600 million users with more than 1,700 employees and offices all over the world. Although his company figures are kept strictly under wraps, Zuckerberg’s private fortune is said to be worth an estimated £4.4 billion.
