Signature
Mark Elliot Zuckerberg
(
; born May 14, 1984) is an American businessman and programmer who co-founded the social media service
Facebook
and its parent company
Meta Platforms
. He serves as its chairman, chief executive officer (CEO), and
controlling shareholder
.
Zuckerberg briefly attended
Harvard College
, and
launched Facebook
there in February 2004 with his roommates
Eduardo Saverin
,
Andrew McCollum
,
Dustin Moskovitz
and
Chris Hughes
. Zuckerberg took the
company public in May 2012
with majority shares. He became the world's youngest
self-made
billionaire
[
a
]
in 2008 at age 23 and has consistently ranked among the
world's wealthiest people
. According to
Forbes
, Zuckerberg's estimated net worth stood at US$220 billion as of December 2025.
[

]
He has used his funds to organize multiple large donations, including the establishment of the
Chan Zuckerberg Initiative
. A film based on Zuckerberg's early career, legal troubles and initial success with Facebook,
The Social Network
, was released in 2010. His prominence and fast rise in the
technology
industry has prompted political and legal attention. He has been the subject of multiple lawsuits regarding the creation and ownership of the website as well as issues such as user privacy.
Early life
Mark Elliot Zuckerberg was born on May 14, 1984, in
White Plains, New York
, to
Jewish
parents Dr. Edward Zuckerberg, a dentist, and Karen (
nĂŠe
 Kempner
), a psychiatrist.
[
4
]
[
5
]
He and his three sisters (Arielle,
Randi
, and
Donna
) were raised in a
Reform Jewish
household
[
6
]
in
Dobbs Ferry, New York
.
[
7
]
Their great-grandparents were
emigrants
from Austria, Germany, and Poland.
[
8
]
Zuckerberg initially attended
Ardsley High School
before transferring to
Phillips Exeter Academy
. He was captain of the fencing team.
[

Software development
Early years
Zuckerberg learned computer programming in his childhood. At about the age of eleven, he created "ZuckNet", a program that allowed computers at the family home and his father's dental office to communicate with each other.
[
11
]
During Zuckerberg's high-school years, he worked to build a music player called the Synapse Media Player. The device used
machine learning
to learn the user's listening habits, which was posted to
Slashdot
[
12
]
and received a rating of 3 out of 5 from
PC Magazine
.
[
13
]
The New Yorker
once said of Zuckerberg, "some kids played computer games. Mark created them."
[
7
]
While still in high school, he attended
Mercy College
taking a graduate computer course on Thursday evenings.
[
7
]
College years
The New Yorker
noted that by the time Zuckerberg began classes at
Harvard
in 2002, he had already achieved a "reputation as a programming prodigy".
[
7
]
He studied
psychology
and
computer science
,
[
14
]
resided in
Kirkland House
,
[
15
]
and belonged to
Alpha Epsilon Pi
.
[
7
]
In his
second
year, he wrote a program that he called CourseMatch, which allowed users to make class selection decisions based on the choices of other students and help them form study groups.
[
16
]
Later, he created a different program he initially called
Facemash
that let students select the best-looking person from a choice of photos. Arie Hasit, Zuckerberg's roommate at the time, explained:
We had books called "Face Books", which included the names and pictures of everyone who lived in the student dorms. At first, he built a site and placed two pictures, or pictures of two males and two females. Visitors to the site had to choose who was "hotter" and according to the votes there would be a ranking.
[
17
]
The site went up over a weekend, but by Monday morning, the college shut it down, because its popularity had overwhelmed one of Harvard's
network switches
, preventing students from accessing the Internet.
[
18
]
In addition, many students complained that their photos were being used without permission. Zuckerberg apologized publicly, and the student paper ran articles stating that his site was "completely improper".

"Mark Zuckerberg's career in 90 seconds | Tech Gurus"
via
The Daily Telegraph
[
19
]
In January 2004, Zuckerberg began writing code for a new website.
[
20
]
On February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched "Thefacebook", originally located at thefacebook.com, in partnership with his roommates
Eduardo Saverin
,
Andrew McCollum
,
Dustin Moskovitz
, and
Chris Hughes
.
[
21
]
[
22
]
An earlier inspiration for Facebook may have come from
Phillips Exeter Academy
, the prep school from which Zuckerberg graduated in 2002. It published its own student directory, "The Photo Address Book", which students referred to as "The Facebook". Such photo directories were an important part of the student social experience at many private schools. With them, students were able to list attributes such as their class years, their friends, and their telephone numbers.
[
22
]
Zuckerberg in 2005
Six days after the site launched, three Harvard seniors,
Cameron Winklevoss
,
Tyler Winklevoss
, and
Divya Narendra
, accused Zuckerberg of intentionally misleading them into believing that he would help them build a social network called
HarvardConnection.com
, when he was using their ideas to build a competing product.
[
23
]
The three complained to
The Harvard Crimson
, and the newspaper began an investigation in response. While Zuckerberg tried to convince the editors not to run the story,
[
24
]
he also broke into two of the editors' email accounts by using their private login data logs from TheFacebook.
[
25
]
[
26
]
Following the official launch of the Facebook social media platform, the three filed a lawsuit against Zuckerberg that resulted in a settlement.
[
27
]
The agreed settlement was for 1.2Â million Facebook shares and $20Â million in cash (equivalent to $28,047,543 in 2025).
[
28
]
Zuckerberg's Facebook started off as just a "Harvard thing" until he decided to spread it to other schools, enlisting the help of roommate and co-founder
Dustin Moskovitz
.
[
29
]
They began with
Columbia University
,
New York University
,
Stanford University
,
Dartmouth College
,
Cornell University
,
University of Pennsylvania
,
Brown University
, and
Yale University
.
[
30
]
Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard in his second year in order to complete the project.
[
31
]
Zuckerberg, Moskovitz and the other co-founders moved to
Palo Alto, California
, where they leased a small house that served as an office. Over the summer, Zuckerberg met
Peter Thiel
, who invested in his company. They got their first office in mid-2004. According to Zuckerberg, the group planned to return to Harvard, but eventually decided to remain in California, where Zuckerberg appreciated the "mythical place" of
Silicon Valley
, the center of computer technology in California.
[
32
]
[
33
]
They had already turned down offers by major corporations to buy the company.
[
34
]
The same year, speaking at
Y Combinator
's
Startup School
course at
Stanford University
, Zuckerberg made a
controversial assertion
that "young people are just smarter" and that other entrepreneurs should bias towards hiring young people.
[
35
]
Earlier, in April 2009, Zuckerberg had sought the advice of former
Netscape
CFO
Peter Currie
regarding financing strategies for Facebook.
[
36
]
On July 21, 2010, Zuckerberg reported that Facebook had reached the 500-million-user mark.
[
37
]
In 2010,
Steven Levy
, who wrote the 1984 book
Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution
, wrote that Zuckerberg "clearly thinks of himself as a
hacker
". Zuckerberg said that "it's OK to break things" "to make them better".
[
38
]
[
39
]
Facebook instituted "
hackathons
" held every six to eight weeks where participants would have one night to conceive of and complete a project.
[
38
]
The company provided music, food, and beer at the hackathons, and many Facebook staff members, including Zuckerberg, regularly attended.
[
39
]
"The idea is that you can build something really good in a night", Zuckerberg told Levy. "And that's part of the personality of Facebook now ... It's definitely very core to my personality."
[
38
]
In 2007, Zuckerberg was added to
MIT Technology Review
's
TR35
list as one of the top 35 innovators in the world under the age of 35.
[
40
]
Vanity Fair
magazine named Zuckerberg number 1 on its 2010 list of the Top 100 "most influential people of the
Information Age
".
[
41

Zuckerberg ranked number 23 on the
Vanity Fair
100 list in 2009.

In 2010, Zuckerberg was chosen as number 16 in
New Statesman
'
s annual survey of the world's 50 most influential figures.

Zuckerberg and Russian Prime Minister
Dmitry Medvedev
during their meeting at the Russian leader's residence outside Moscow, October 1, 2012
On October 1, 2012, Zuckerberg met with then-Russian Prime Minister
Dmitry Medvedev
in Moscow to stimulate social media innovation in Russia and to boost Facebook's position in the Russian market.
[
44
]
[
45
]
Russia's communications minister tweeted that Medvedev persuaded Zuckerberg to open a research center in Moscow instead of trying to lure away Russian programmers. In 2012, Facebook had roughly 9 million users in Russia, while domestic clone
VK
had around 34 million.
[
46
]
[
47
]
On August 19, 2013,
The Washington Post
reported that Zuckerberg's Facebook profile was hacked by an unemployed web developer.
[
48
]
At the 2013
TechCrunch Disrupt
conference, held in September, Zuckerberg stated that he was working towards registering the 5Â billion people who were not connected to the Internet as of the conference on Facebook. Zuckerberg then explained that this was intertwined with the aim of the
Internet.org
project, whereby Facebook, with the support of other technology companies, sought to increase the number of people connected to the internet.
[
49

[
50
]
Zuckerberg was the keynote speaker at the 2014
Mobile World Congress
(MWC), held in
Barcelona
, Spain, in March 2014, which was attended by 75,000 delegates. Various media sources highlighted the connection between Facebook's focus on mobile technology and Zuckerberg's speech, stating that mobile represented the future of the company.
[
51
]
Alongside other American technology figures such as Jeff Bezos and
Tim Cook
, Zuckerberg hosted visiting Chinese politician
Lu Wei
, known as the "Internet czar" for his influence in the enforcement of China's online policy, at Facebook's headquarters on December 8, 2014. The meeting occurred after Zuckerberg participated in a Q&A session at
Tsinghua University
in Beijing, China, on October 23, 2014, where he conversed in
Mandarin Chinese
.

In June 2016,
Business Insider
named Zuckerberg one of the "Top 10 Business Visionaries Creating Value for the World" along with
Elon Musk
and
Sal Khan
, due to the fact that he and his wife "pledged to give away 99% of their wealth-then estimated at $55.0 billion" (equivalent to $72,240,700,516 in 2025).
[

In January 2019, Zuckerberg laid plans to integrate an
end-to-end encrypted
system for three major social media platforms, including Facebook,
Instagram
and
WhatsApp
.
[

Other roles and projects
Zuckerberg at the
World Economic Forum
in
Davos
, Switzerland (January 2009)
A month after Zuckerberg launched Facebook in February 2004,
i2hub
, another campus-only service, created by
Wayne Chang
and focusing on
peer-to-peer
file sharing, was launched. At the time, both i2hub and Facebook were gaining the attention of the press and growing rapidly in users and publicity. In August 2004, Zuckerberg, Andrew McCollum,
Adam D'Angelo
, and
Sean Parker
launched a competing peer-to-peer file sharing service called
Wirehog
, a precursor to
Facebook Platform
applications, which was launched in 2007.
[

[
61
]
[
62
]
In 2013, Zuckerberg launched
Internet.org
, which he described as an initiative to provide Internet access to the five billion people without it as of the launch date. The project faced significant opposition in India, where activists said its limited internet ran counter to the principle of
net neutrality
; Zuckerberg responded by saying that a limited internet was better than no internet. Internet.org was shut down in India in February 2016.

Lawsuits
ConnectU lawsuits
Harvard students
Cameron Winklevoss
,
Tyler Winklevoss
, and
Divya Narendra
accused Zuckerberg of intentionally making them believe he would help them build a social network called HarvardConnection.com (later called
ConnectU
).
[
23
]
They filed a lawsuit in 2004; it was dismissed on a technicality on March 28, 2007. It was refiled soon thereafter in a
federal court
in
Boston
. Facebook countersued in regards to Social Butterfly, a project put out by
The Winklevoss Chang Group
, an alleged partnership between ConnectU and
i2hub
. On June 25, 2008, the case settled and Facebook agreed to transfer over 1.2 million common shares and pay $20 million in cash (equivalent to $30,013,960 in 2025).
[
67
]
In November 2007, court documents were posted on the website of
02138
, a magazine that catered to Harvard alumni. They included Zuckerberg's Social Security number, his parents' home address, and his girlfriend's address. Although Facebook filed to have the documents removed, the judge ruled in favor of
02138
.
[
68

Eduardo Saverin
In 2005, Facebook co-founder
Eduardo Saverin
filed a lawsuit against Zuckerberg and Facebook, alleging that Zuckerberg had illegally spent Saverin's money on personal expenses. The lawsuit was settled out of court and, although terms of the settlement were sealed, the company affirmed Saverin's title as co-founder of Facebook, and Saverin agreed to stop talking to the press.

Pakistan criminal investigation
In June 2010, then-Pakistani Deputy Attorney General Muhammad Azhar Sidiqque launched a criminal investigation into Zuckerberg and Facebook co-founders
Dustin Moskovitz
and
Chris Hughes
after a "
Draw Muhammad
" contest was hosted on Facebook. The investigation also named the anonymous German woman who created the contest. Sidiqque asked the country's police to contact
Interpol
to have Zuckerberg and the three others arrested for
blasphemy
. On May 19, 2010, Facebook's website was temporarily blocked in Pakistan until Facebook removed the contest from its website at the end of May. Sidiqque also asked its UN representative to raise the issue with the
United Nations General Assembly

Paul Ceglia
In June 2010, Paul Ceglia, the owner of a wood
pellet fuel
company in
Allegany County, upstate New York
, filed a suit against Zuckerberg, claiming 84 percent ownership of Facebook and seeking monetary damages. According to Ceglia, he and Zuckerberg signed a contract on April 28, 2003, that an initial fee of $1,000 (equivalent to $1,750 in 2025) entitled Ceglia to 50% of the website's revenue, as well as an additional 1% interest in the business per day after January 1, 2004, until website completion. Zuckerberg was developing other projects at the time, among which was
Facemash
, the predecessor to Facebook, but did not register the domain name
thefacebook.com
until January 1, 2004. The Facebook management dismissed the lawsuit as "completely frivolous". Facebook spokesman Barry Schnitt told a reporter that Ceglia's counsel had unsuccessfully sought an out-of-court settlement.
[
73
]
[
74
]
On October 26, 2012, federal authorities arrested Ceglia, charging him with mail and wire fraud and of "tampering with, destroying and fabricating evidence in a scheme to defraud the Facebook founder of billions of dollars". Ceglia is accused of fabricating emails to make it appear that he and Zuckerberg discussed details about an early version of Facebook, although after examining their emails, investigators found there was no mention of Facebook in them.
[
75
]
Some law firms withdrew from the case before it was initiated and others after Ceglia's arrest.

Hawaiian land ownership
In 2014, Zuckerberg purchased 700 acres of land on the Hawaiian island of
KauaĘťi
. In January 2017, Zuckerberg filed eight "
quiet title
and
partition
" lawsuits against hundreds of
native Hawaiians
to claim small tracts of land that they owned within his acreage.
[
78
]
Zuckerberg responded to criticisms in a
Facebook
post, stating that the lawsuits were a good faith effort to pay the partial owners of the land their "fair share".
[
78
]
When he learned that Hawaiian
land ownership law
differs from that of the other 49 states, he dropped the lawsuits. Zuckerberg stated that he regretted not taking the time to understand the process and its history before moving ahead.
[
79
]
[
80
]
Eventually, an auction helped sell the pockets of land.
[
81
]
[
82
]
Zuckerberg paid $17 million (equivalent to $20,198,330 in 2025) to add 110 acres to his contentious 1,500-acre estate in
Kauai
, in December 2021.
[
81
]
At least $145 million was spent by Zuckerberg on land in Kauai that he is developing into a massive 1,450-acre retreat that is partially gated off. In a January Instagram post, he uploaded a picture of a massive steak and joked that "of all my projects, this is the most delicious," indicating that he is rearing beer-fed Wagyu and Angus cattle on the property, involving his daughters in the process.

Testimonies before U.S. Congress
On April 10 and 11, 2018, Zuckerberg testified before the
United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation
regarding the usage of personal data by Facebook in relation to the
FacebookâCambridge Analytica data scandal
.
[
84
]
[
85
]
He called the whole affair a breach of trust between
Aleksandr Kogan
,
Cambridge Analytica
, and Facebook.
[
86
]
Zuckerberg refused requests to appear to give evidence on the matter to a
Parliamentary
committee in the United Kingdom.
[
87
]
On October 1, 2020, the
US Senate Commerce Committee
unanimously voted to issue
subpoenas
to the CEOs of three top tech firms, including Zuckerberg,
Google
's
Sundar Pichai
and
Twitter
's
Jack Dorsey
. The subpoenas aimed to force the CEOs to testify about the legal immunity the law affords tech platforms under
Section 230 of the Communications Act
of 1934. US
Republicans
argued that the law unduly protected social media companies against allegations of anti-conservative censorship.
[
88
]
On March 25, 2021, Zuckerberg testified before the House Energy and Commerce Committee regarding Facebook's role in the spread of misinformation and hate speech on the platform. During the hearing, he was questioned about Facebook's handling of user data, its role in the
January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol Building
, and its efforts to combat misinformation and hate speech. Zuckerberg acknowledged that Facebook had a responsibility to address these issues and outlined the steps that the company is taking to improve its policies and practices. The hearing was part of a broader effort by Congress to hold tech companies accountable for their role in shaping public discourse and protecting user privacy.
[
89
]
In a January 2024
Senate Judiciary Committee
hearing on child safety and social media platforms, Zuckerberg, along with other tech CEOs, were questioned about their companies' practices. During the hearing, he stood up, turned toward the audience, and apologized to the families of children who were victims of online abuse and harm.

Opposition to Meta proposals for teenagers' mental health
Court documents allege that Zuckerberg personally rejected Meta's proposals to improve teenagers' mental health. He consistently opposed efforts to enhance well-being on Facebook and Instagram, overriding senior executives such as Instagram head
Adam Mosseri
and Global Affairs President
Nick Clegg
, as revealed in an ongoing lawsuit. Internal communications disclosed in the Massachusetts-initiated legal action depict Zuckerberg's resistance to better protect over 30 million teens on Instagram in the U.S., highlighting his substantial influence on Meta's decisions impacting billions of users. These documents also shed light on occasional tensions between Zuckerberg and other Meta officials advocating for improved user well-being.

New Mexico lawsuit on Meta's lack of restriction on AI bots
The lawsuit alleges that Meta "failed to stem the tide of damaging sexual material and sexual propositions delivered to children" on Facebook and Instagram.

Jesse Eisenberg
(pictured) played Zuckerberg in
The Social Network
.
A movie based on Zuckerberg and the founding years of Facebook,
The Social Network
, was released on October 1, 2010, starring
Jesse Eisenberg
as Zuckerberg. After Zuckerberg was told about the film, he responded, "I just wished that nobody made a movie of me while I was still alive."
[
94
]
Also, after the film's script was leaked on the Internet and it was apparent that the film would not portray Zuckerberg in a wholly positive light, he stated that he wanted to establish himself as a "good guy".
[
95
]
The film is based on the book
The Accidental Billionaires
by
Ben Mezrich
, which the book's publicist once described as "big juicy fun" rather than "reportage".
[
96
]
The film's screenwriter
Aaron Sorkin
told
New York
magazine
, "I don't want my fidelity to be the truth; I want it to be storytelling", adding, "What is the big deal about accuracy purely for accuracy's sake, and can we not have the true be the enemy of the good?".
[
97

Upon winning the
Golden Globe Award
for Best Picture on January 16, 2011, producer
Scott Rudin
thanked Facebook and Zuckerberg "for his willingness to allow us to use his life and work as a
metaphor
through which to tell a story about communication and the way we relate to each other".
[
98
]
Sorkin, who won for Best Screenplay, retracted some of the impressions given in his script:
[
99
]
I wanted to say to Mark Zuckerberg tonight, if you're watching,
Rooney Mara
's character makes a prediction at the beginning of the movie. She was wrong. You turned out to be a great entrepreneur, a visionary, and an incredible altruist.
In January 2011, Zuckerberg made a surprise guest appearance on
Saturday Night Live
, which was hosted by Jesse Eisenberg. They both said it was the first time they had met.
[
100
]
Eisenberg asked Zuckerberg, who had been critical of his portrayal by the film, what he thought of the movie. Zuckerberg replied, "It was interesting."
[
101
]
In a subsequent interview about their meeting, Eisenberg explained that he was "nervous to meet him, because I had spent now, a year and a half thinking about him ...". He added, "Mark has been so gracious about something that's really so uncomfortable ... The fact that he would do
SNL
and make fun of the situation is so sweet and so generous. It's the best possible way to handle something that, I think, could otherwise be very uncomfortable."

Disputed accuracy
According to
David Kirkpatrick
, former technology editor at
Fortune
magazine and author of
The Facebook Effect: The Inside Story of the Company That Is Connecting the World
(2011),
[
104
]
"the film is only 40% true ... he is not snide and sarcastic in a cruel way, the way Zuckerberg is played in the movie." He says that "a lot of the factual incidents are accurate, but many are distorted, and the overall impression is false" and concludes that primarily "his motivations were to try and come up with a new way to share information on the Internet".
[
105
]
Although the film portrayed Zuckerberg's creation of Facebook in order to elevate his stature after not getting into any of the elite
final clubs
at Harvard, Zuckerberg stated that he had no interest in joining the clubs.
[
7
]
Kirkpatrick agreed that the impression implied by the film is "false". Karel Baloun, a former senior engineer at Facebook, noted that the "image of Zuckerberg as a socially inept nerd is overstated ... It is fiction ...". He likewise dismissed the film's assertion that he "would deliberately betray a friend".

Other depictions
Zuckerberg voiced himself on an episode of
The Simpsons
titled "
Loan-a Lisa
", which first aired on October 3, 2010. In the episode,

The
South Park
episode "
Franchise Prequel

CNET
, he was portrayed as "a rosy-cheeked bully nerd who utters strange noises, makes peculiar kung fu gestures and turns up wherever he likes in people's houses".

Donations and Chan Zuckerberg Initiative
Zuckerberg and his wife
Priscilla Chan
in May 2013
Zuckerberg founded the
Startup:Education
foundation.
[
114
]
It was reported in September 2010 that he had donated $100Â million (equivalent to $147,642,301 in 2025) to
Newark Public Schools
, the public school system of
Newark, New Jersey
.
[
115
]
[
116
]
Critics noted the timing of the donation as being close to the release of
The Social Network
, which painted a somewhat negative portrait of Zuckerberg.
[
117
]
Zuckerberg responded to the criticism, saying, "The thing that I was most sensitive about with the movie timing was, I didn't want the press about
The Social Network
movie to get conflated with the Newark project. I was thinking about doing this anonymously just so that the two things could be kept separate."
[
118
]
Newark Mayor
Cory Booker
stated that he and New Jersey Governor
Chris Christie
had to convince Zuckerberg's team not to make the donation anonymously.
[
118
]
The money was largely wasted, according to journalist Dale Russakoff.
[
119
]
[
120
]
In 2010, Zuckerberg,
Bill Gates
, and investor
Warren Buffett
signed
The Giving Pledge
, in which they said they would donate to charity at least half of their wealth over the course of time, and invited others among the wealthy to donate 50 percent or more of their wealth to charity.
[
121
]
In December 2012, Zuckerberg and his wife
Priscilla Chan
said that over the course of their lives they would give the majority of their wealth to "advancing human potential and promoting equality" in the spirit of The Giving Pledge.
[
122
]
[
123
]
In December 2013, Zuckerberg announced a donation of 18 million Facebook shares to the
Silicon Valley Community Foundation
, to be executed by the end of the monthâbased on Facebook's valuation as of then, the shares totaled $990Â million in value (equivalent to $1,368,321,429 in 2025). Later that month, the donation was recognized as the largest charitable gift on public record for that year.
[
124
]
The Chronicle of Philanthropy
placed Zuckerberg and his wife at the top of the magazine's annual list of 50 most generous Americans for 2013, having donated roughly $1Â billion to charity (equivalent to $1,382,142,857 in 2025).
[
125
]
In October 2014, Zuckerberg and his wife donated $25Â million (equivalent to $33,999,859 in 2025) to combat the
Ebola virus disease
, specifically the
West African Ebola virus epidemic
.
[
126
]
[
127
]
The couple endowed the foundation of the
San Francisco General Hospital
in February 2015 with $75Â million (equivalent to $101,870,701 in 2025), which was the biggest individual donation to a U.S. public hospital. The hospital honored them by renaming itself as The Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center. Later in 2020, the
San Francisco Board of Supervisors
passed a near-unanimous, non-binding measure condemning the renaming, citing concerns that a public hospital should not be named after an individual whose social media platform is accused of "endangering public health, spreading misinformation, and violating privacy".
[
128
]
On December 1, 2015, the couple pledged to transfer 99% of their Facebook shares, then valued at $45Â billion (equivalent to $61,122,420,329 in 2025), to the
Chan Zuckerberg Initiative
(CZI).
[
129
]
The funds would not be transferred immediately, but over the course of their lives.
[
130
]
Instead of forming a charitable corporation to donate the value of the stock to, as
Bill Gates
,
Warren Buffett
,
Larry Page
,
Sergey Brin
and other billionaires have done, Zuckerberg and Chan chose to use the structure of a
limited liability company (LLC)
. Some journalists and academics have said the CZI conducts
philanthrocapitalism
.
[
131
]
[
132
]
[
133
]
In 2016, CZI gave $600Â million (equivalent to $804,908,486 in 2025) to create the tax-exempt charity
Chan Zuckerberg Biohub
, a collaborative research space in San Francisco's
Mission Bay district
near the
University of California, San Francisco
, with the intent to foster interaction and collaboration between scientists at UCSF,
University of California, Berkeley
, and
Stanford University
. Intellectual property generated would be jointly owned by Biohub and the discoverer's home institution. Unlike foundations such as the
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
, which open up all research funded to unrestricted access and reuse by the public, Biohub retained the right to commercialize any research it funds. Inventors will have the option of making their discoveries open-source, with permission from Biohub.
[
134
]
[
135
]
[
136
]
To increase access to scientific research and promote open science, CZ Biohub requires its investigators and staff scientists to publish submitted manuscripts and related data on
preprints
servers such as
bioRxiv
.
[
137
]
[
138
]
Amidst the
COVID-19 pandemic
, Zuckerberg announced $25Â million (equivalent to $31,101,324 in 2025) in grants to support local journalism that was impacted by the pandemic and $75Â million (equivalent to $93,303,973 in 2025) in advertisement purchases in local newspapers by
Facebook, Inc.
, where Facebook would market itself.
[
139
]
Politics
With
Barack Obama
before a private meeting between Obama and technology business leaders in February 2011
In 2002, Zuckerberg registered to vote in
Westchester County, New York
, where he grew up, but did not cast a ballot until November 2008. Then
Santa Clara County
Registrar of Voters Spokeswoman, Elma Rosas, told Bloomberg that Zuckerberg is listed as "no preference" on voter rolls, and he voted in at least two of the past three general elections, in
2008
and
2012
.
[
140
]
[
141
]
Zuckerberg has never revealed his own political affiliation or voting history. In February 2013, Zuckerberg hosted his first ever fundraising event for then-New Jersey Governor
Chris Christie
. His particular interest on this occasion was education reform, and Christie's education reform work focused on teachers unions and the expansion of charter schools.
[
142
]
[
143
]
Later that year, Zuckerberg hosted a campaign fundraiser for then-Newark mayor
Cory Booker
, who was running in the
2013 New Jersey special Senate election
.
[
144
]
In September 2010, with the support of Governor Chris Christie, Booker obtained a US$100Â million (equivalent to $147,642,301 in 2025) pledge from Zuckerberg to
Newark Public Schools
.
[
145
]
In December 2012, Zuckerberg donated 18 million shares to the
Silicon Valley Community Foundation
, a community organization that includes education in its list of grant-making areas.
[
146
]
[
147
]
On April 11, 2013, Zuckerberg led the launch of a
501(c)(4) lobbying group
called
FWD.us
. The founders and contributors to the group were primarily Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and investors, and its president was
Joe Green
, a close friend of Zuckerberg.
[
148
]
[
149
]
The goals of the group include
immigration reform
, improving the state of education in the United States, and enabling more technological breakthroughs that benefit the public,
[
150
]
[
151
]
yet it has also been criticized for financing ads advocating a variety of oil and gas development initiatives, including drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the Keystone XL pipeline.
[
152
]
In 2013, numerous liberal and progressive groups, such as
The League of Conservation Voters
,
MoveOn.org
, the
Sierra Club
,
Democracy for America
, CREDO,
Daily Kos
,
350.org
, and Presente and Progressives United agreed to either not buy or pull their Facebook ads for at least two weeks, in protest of ads funded by FWD.us that were in support of oil drilling and the
Keystone XL pipeline
, and in opposition to
Obamacare
among Republican United States senators who back immigration reform.
[
153
]
A media report on June 20, 2013, revealed that Zuckerberg actively engaged with Facebook users on his own profile page after the online publication of a FWD.us video. In response to a claim that the FWD.us organization is "just about tech wanting to hire more people", the Internet entrepreneur replied, "The bigger problem we're trying to address is ensuring the 11 million undocumented folks living in this country now and similar folks in the future are treated fairly."
[
154
]
In June 2013, Zuckerberg joined Facebook employees in a company float as part of the annual
San Francisco Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Celebration
. The company first participated in the event in 2011, with 70 employees, and this number increased to 700 for the 2013 march. The 2013 pride celebration was especially significant, as it followed a
U.S. Supreme Court
ruling that deemed the
Defense of Marriage Act
(DOMA) unconstitutional.
[
155
]
[
156
]
When questioned about the mid-2013
PRISM
scandal at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in September 2013, Zuckerberg stated that the U.S. government "blew it". He further explained that the government performed poorly in regard to the protection of the freedoms of its citizens, the economy, and companies.
[
49
]
With then-Argentine President
Cristina FernĂĄndez de Kirchner
in April 2015
Zuckerberg placed a statement on his Facebook wall on December 9, 2015, which said that he wants "to add my voice in support of Muslims in our community and around the world" in response to the
aftermath
of the
November 2015 Paris attacks
and the
2015 San Bernardino attack
.
[
157
]
[
158
]
[
159
]
[
160
]
The statement also said that Muslims are "always welcome" on Facebook, and that his position was a result of the fact that, "
as a Jew
, my parents taught me that we must stand up against attacks on all communities."
[
161
]
[
162
]
On February 24, 2016, Zuckerberg sent out a company-wide internal memo to employees formally rebuking employees who had crossed out handwritten "
Black Lives Matter
" phrases on the company walls and had written "All Lives Matter" in their place. Facebook allows employees to free-write thoughts and phrases on company walls. The memo was then leaked by several employees. As Zuckerberg had previously condemned this practice at previous company meetings, and other similar requests had been issued by other leaders at Facebook, Zuckerberg wrote in the memo that he would now consider this overwriting practice not only disrespectful, but "malicious as well". According to Zuckerberg's memo, "
Black Lives Matter
doesn't mean other lives don't â it's simply asking that the black community also achieves the justice they deserve." The memo also noted that the act of crossing something out in itself "means silencing speech, or that one person's speech is more important than another's". Zuckerberg also said in the memo that he would be launching investigations into the incidents.
[
163
]
[
164
]
[
165
]
The
New York Daily News
interviewed Facebook employees who commented anonymously that, "Zuckerberg was genuinely angry about the incident and it really encouraged staff that Zuckerberg showed a clear understanding of why the phrase 'Black Lives Matter' must exist, as well as why writing through it is a form of harassment and erasure."
[
163
]
In January 2017, Zuckerberg criticized
Donald Trump
's
executive order
to harshly limit immigrants and refugees from some countries.
[
166
]
He also funded a state-level ballot initiative for the
2020 general election
that would raise taxes by altering California's
Proposition 13
to require the tax assessment of commercial and industrial properties in the state at market rate.
[
167
]
Especially in his twenties, Zuckerberg had financially supported various progressive causes such as immigration reform and social justice. At least among Republicans, he was generally seen as pro-
liberal
. In an August 2024 letter to the
House Judiciary Committee
however, Zuckerberg stated he regretted not doing more to resist pressure from the Biden administration to censor content related to
COVID-19
. He also noted he no longer intends to donate towards election infrastructure; Republicans had seen those contributions as non-neutral, labeling them "Zuckerbucks". By 2024, Zuckerberg was discouraging employee activism at Facebook, and according to
The New York Times
, had privately described his politics as leaning towards
libertarianism
or
classical liberalism
.

With then-President
Donald Trump
at the White House in September 2019
In Donald Trump's book
Save America
, published in September 2024, Trump described Zuckerberg's visits to the White House and wrote, "We are watching him closely, and if he does anything illegal this time he will spend the rest of his life in prison â as will others who cheat in the
2024 Presidential Election
."
[
172
]
Two months later, they dined at the
Mar-a-Lago
resort, with Zuckerberg reportedly aiming to mend his and his firm's relationship with Trump after the latter won the election.
[
173
]
Around the same time, Meta reportedly donated $1 million to a Trump-related fund.
[
174
]
In January 2025, he said: "We now have a U.S. administration that is proud of our leading companies, prioritizes American technology winning and that will defend our values and interests abroad."
[
175
]
Zuckerberg was one of a handful of technology leaders positioned prominently at Trump's inauguration. In March 2025, Zuckerberg mentioned his relationship with the Trump administration while seeking a favorable settlement in,
FTC v. Meta
, an
antitrust case
where the
Federal Trade Commission
(FTC) was asking for $30 billion.
[
176
]
[
177
]
Zuckerberg has expressed opposition to EU regulations
[
178
]
of his company saying "we're going to work with President Trump to push back on governments around the world that're going after American companies."
[

[

Personal life
Marriage and children
With his wife,
Priscilla Chan
, in 2014
Zuckerberg met fellow student
Priscilla Chan
at a frat party during his second year at Harvard. They began dating in 2003.
[
181
]
In September 2010, Chan, who was a medical student at the
University of California, San Francisco
at the time,
[
182
]
moved into his rented house in
Palo Alto, California
.
[
183
]
[
184
]
They married on May 19, 2012, in the grounds of his mansion in an event that also celebrated her graduation from medical school.
[
185
]
[
186
]
Zuckerberg revealed in July 2015 that they were expecting a baby girl and that Chan had previously experienced three miscarriages.
[
187
]
Their first daughter was born in December 2015.
[
188
]
They announced in a
Chinese New Year
video that their daughter's Chinese name is Chen Mingyu (
Chinese
:
éćĺŽ
).
[
189
]
Their second daughter was born in August 2017.
[
190
]
Zuckerberg and his wife welcomed their third daughter in March 2023 and announced the news across his social media pages.
[
191
]
The couple also have a
Puli dog
named Beast,
[
192
]
who had over two million followers on Facebook as of 2019.
[
193
]
Zuckerberg commissioned the visual artist
Daniel Arsham
to build a 7-foot-tall sculpture of his wife, which was unveiled in 2024.
[
194
]
As of 2025
, the Zuckerberg family lives on a large compound in the Crescent Park neighborhood of Palo Alto. In November 2025,
WIRED
published an investigation of complaints from neighbors about a school that was operating on the Zuckerberg property without a permit.
[
195
]
In March 2026, Zuckerberg and Chan purchased a home on
Indian Creek, Florida
, a wealthy enclave known as the "Billionaires' Bunker", for a
Miami-Dade County
record of $170Â million, an unfinished home that had an asking price of $200Â million.
[
196
]
Recognition and public image
Time
named Zuckerberg
one of the most influential people in the world
in 2008, 2011, 2016, 2019 and 2025, and nominated him as a finalist several other times. He was named the
Time
Person of the Year
in 2010, the same year when Facebook eclipsed more than half a billion users.
[
197
]
He was also included in the
Time
100 AI list in 2024.
[
198
]
In December 2016, Zuckerberg was ranked tenth on the
Forbes
list of the World's Most Powerful People
.
[
199
]
In the
Forbes
400
list of wealthiest Americans in 2023, he was ranked eighth with a personal wealth of $106 billion (equivalent to $112,008,519,004 in 2025).
[
200
]
In October 2024, he became the second richest person in the world.
[
201
]
[
202
]
As of October 2025
, Zuckerberg's net worth was estimated at $251 billion by
Forbes
, making him the third richest person in the world.
[
203
]
In addition to his estate in Hawaii, Zuckerberg has a $320 million (equivalent to $380,203,856 in 2025) real estate portfolio that includes ten homes in Palo Alto, San Francisco, and Lake Tahoe, totaling over 1,400 acres.
[
81
]
Zuckerberg shifted his style in 2024.
[
204
]
[
205
]
Originally known wearing the same gray shirt and jeans in most public appearances, Zuckerberg started wearing gold chains and trendier streetwear.
[
206
]
[
207
]
[
208
]
Writing for
Vanity Fair
, Kase Wickman described Zuckerberg's "new look" as a "
MAGA
rebrand", claiming that his change in fashion parallels Meta's efforts to appease the Trump administration.
[
209
]
Zuckerberg denied hiring a stylist.
[
210
]
Yacht fleet
In 2017, Zuckerberg called for action to stop
global warming
in a commencement speech at
Harvard University
.
[
211
]
Seven years later, he purchased the mega-yacht
Launchpad
(formerly
Project 1010
) for about $300 million; the vessel is approximately 118â119 m (387 ft) and was delivered by Feadship in 2024.
[
212
]
[
213
]
[
214
]
Zuckerberg also operates a smaller support/shadow yacht,
Wingman
, built by Damen Yachting in 2014 (approx. 67 m/220 ft), which functions as a tender and logistics platform for
Launchpad
; media have placed its value around $30 million.
[
215
]
[
216
]
In early 2025, multiple outlets reported the two-vessel fleet operating together, including in the Arctic.
Launchpad
was tracked at
Longyearbyen
(Svalbard), where local activists staged protests over emissions.
[
217
]
[
218
]
[
219
]
During the Easter period of 2025, Sustainability Times described a roughly 5,280-mile voyage to Norway's fjords using the two-yacht fleet for a heliskiing trip. The article asserted by using
Wingman'
s helipad offshore, operations avoided helicopter landings on Norwegian soil, which are generally restricted for tourism.
[
220
]
[
221
]
Earlier, in late 2024 and early 2025, lifestyle media reported that
Launchpad
sailed roughly 4,800 miles to French Polynesia and waited in Tahiti for weeks without Zuckerberg boarding.
[
222
]
[
223
]
Religious beliefs and other interests
Born and raised in a Reform Jewish household, Zuckerberg later identified himself as an atheist. However, he said in 2016 that, "I went through a period where I questioned things, but now I believe religion is very important."
[
9
]
[
224
]
[
225
]
During 2017, he and his wife began a tour of America "to visit every state in the union and learn more about a sliver of the nearly two billion people who regularly use the social network". He met with farmers and business owners, and spoke at the
Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church
, where
a 2015 shooting
took place.
[
226
]
[
227
]
In 2022, Zuckerberg took up training in both
mixed martial arts
(MMA) and
Brazilian jiu-jitsu
(BJJ), and has been open about his love for the two sports.
[
228
]
He competed in a BJJ tournament on May 6, 2023, and won both a silver and gold medal in
gi
and no gi, competing at white belt.
[
229
]
In July 2023, he was promoted to
blue belt
in Brazilian jiu-jitsu by Dave Camarillo.
[
230
]
Four months later, Zuckerberg announced that he was preparing to make his MMA debut but had suffered an
anterior cruciate ligament injury
in training that required surgery and had delayed this.

**Mark Elliot Zuckerberg** ([/ËzĘkÉrbÉËrÉĄ/](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English "Help:IPA/English"); born May 14, 1984) is an American businessman and programmer who co-founded the social media service [Facebook](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook "Facebook") and its parent company [Meta Platforms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_Platforms "Meta Platforms"). He serves as its chairman, chief executive officer (CEO), and [controlling shareholder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlling_interest "Controlling interest").
Zuckerberg briefly attended [Harvard College](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_College "Harvard College"), and [launched Facebook](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Facebook "History of Facebook") there in February 2004 with his roommates [Eduardo Saverin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eduardo_Saverin "Eduardo Saverin"), [Andrew McCollum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_McCollum "Andrew McCollum"), [Dustin Moskovitz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dustin_Moskovitz "Dustin Moskovitz") and [Chris Hughes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Hughes "Chris Hughes"). Zuckerberg took the [company public in May 2012](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_public_offering_of_Facebook "Initial public offering of Facebook") with majority shares. He became the world's youngest [self-made](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-made_man "Self-made man") billionaire[\[a\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-3) in 2008 at age 23 and has consistently ranked among the [world's wealthiest people](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World%27s_Billionaires "The World's Billionaires"). According to *[Forbes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbes "Forbes")*, Zuckerberg's estimated net worth stood at US\$220 billion as of December 2025.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-Forbes-4)
He has used his funds to organize multiple large donations, including the establishment of the [Chan Zuckerberg Initiative](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chan_Zuckerberg_Initiative "Chan Zuckerberg Initiative"). A film based on Zuckerberg's early career, legal troubles and initial success with Facebook, *[The Social Network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Social_Network "The Social Network")*, was released in 2010. His prominence and fast rise in the [technology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology "Technology") industry has prompted political and legal attention. He has been the subject of multiple lawsuits regarding the creation and ownership of the website as well as issues such as user privacy.
## Early life
Mark Elliot Zuckerberg was born on May 14, 1984, in [White Plains, New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Plains,_New_York "White Plains, New York"), to [Jewish](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews "Jews") parents Dr. Edward Zuckerberg, a dentist, and Karen ([nĂŠe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birth_name#Maiden_and_married_names "Birth name") Kempner), a psychiatrist.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-5)[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-6) He and his three sisters (Arielle, [Randi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randi_Zuckerberg "Randi Zuckerberg"), and [Donna](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donna_Zuckerberg "Donna Zuckerberg")) were raised in a [Reform Jewish](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reform_Judaism "Reform Judaism") household[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-Haartez-7) in [Dobbs Ferry, New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dobbs_Ferry,_New_York "Dobbs Ferry, New York").[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-NEWYORKER2010-8) Their great-grandparents were [emigrants](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emigrants "Emigrants") from Austria, Germany, and Poland.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-9) Zuckerberg initially attended [Ardsley High School](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardsley_High_School "Ardsley High School") before transferring to [Phillips Exeter Academy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillips_Exeter_Academy "Phillips Exeter Academy"). He was captain of the fencing team.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-Kirkpatrick-10)[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-11)
### Software development
#### Early years
Zuckerberg learned computer programming in his childhood. At about the age of eleven, he created "ZuckNet", a program that allowed computers at the family home and his father's dental office to communicate with each other.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-12) During Zuckerberg's high-school years, he worked to build a music player called the Synapse Media Player. The device used [machine learning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning "Machine learning") to learn the user's listening habits, which was posted to *[Slashdot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashdot "Slashdot")*[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-13) and received a rating of 3 out of 5 from *[PC Magazine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_Magazine "PC Magazine")*.[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-14) *[The New Yorker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Yorker "The New Yorker")* once said of Zuckerberg, "some kids played computer games. Mark created them."[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-NEWYORKER2010-8) While still in high school, he attended [Mercy College](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercy_University "Mercy University") taking a graduate computer course on Thursday evenings.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-NEWYORKER2010-8)
#### College years
*The New Yorker* noted that by the time Zuckerberg began classes at [Harvard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_College "Harvard College") in 2002, he had already achieved a "reputation as a programming prodigy".[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-NEWYORKER2010-8) He studied [psychology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology "Psychology") and [computer science](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_science "Computer science"),[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-15) resided in [Kirkland House](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirkland_House "Kirkland House"),[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-16) and belonged to [Alpha Epsilon Pi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Epsilon_Pi "Alpha Epsilon Pi").[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-NEWYORKER2010-8) In his [second](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophomore "Sophomore") year, he wrote a program that he called CourseMatch, which allowed users to make class selection decisions based on the choices of other students and help them form study groups.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-17) Later, he created a different program he initially called [Facemash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Facebook#FaceMash "History of Facebook") that let students select the best-looking person from a choice of photos. Arie Hasit, Zuckerberg's roommate at the time, explained:
> We had books called "Face Books", which included the names and pictures of everyone who lived in the student dorms. At first, he built a site and placed two pictures, or pictures of two males and two females. Visitors to the site had to choose who was "hotter" and according to the votes there would be a ranking.[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-Hasit-18)
The site went up over a weekend, but by Monday morning, the college shut it down, because its popularity had overwhelmed one of Harvard's [network switches](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch "Network switch"), preventing students from accessing the Internet.[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-19) In addition, many students complained that their photos were being used without permission. Zuckerberg apologized publicly, and the student paper ran articles stating that his site was "completely improper".[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-Hasit-18)

In January 2004, Zuckerberg began writing code for a new website.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-Hoffman,_Claire2-21) On February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched "Thefacebook", originally located at thefacebook.com, in partnership with his roommates [Eduardo Saverin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eduardo_Saverin "Eduardo Saverin"), [Andrew McCollum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_McCollum "Andrew McCollum"), [Dustin Moskovitz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dustin_Moskovitz "Dustin Moskovitz"), and [Chris Hughes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Hughes "Chris Hughes").[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-skepticism2-22)[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-rww051009-23) An earlier inspiration for Facebook may have come from [Phillips Exeter Academy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillips_Exeter_Academy "Phillips Exeter Academy"), the prep school from which Zuckerberg graduated in 2002. It published its own student directory, "The Photo Address Book", which students referred to as "The Facebook". Such photo directories were an important part of the student social experience at many private schools. With them, students were able to list attributes such as their class years, their friends, and their telephone numbers.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-rww051009-23)
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MarkZuckerberg-crop.jpg)
Zuckerberg in 2005
Six days after the site launched, three Harvard seniors, [Cameron Winklevoss](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Winklevoss "Cameron Winklevoss"), [Tyler Winklevoss](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyler_Winklevoss "Tyler Winklevoss"), and [Divya Narendra](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divya_Narendra "Divya Narendra"), accused Zuckerberg of intentionally misleading them into believing that he would help them build a social network called [HarvardConnection.com](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ConnectU "ConnectU"), when he was using their ideas to build a competing product.[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-zuckerberghacked2-24) The three complained to *[The Harvard Crimson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Harvard_Crimson "The Harvard Crimson")*, and the newspaper began an investigation in response. While Zuckerberg tried to convince the editors not to run the story,[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-25) he also broke into two of the editors' email accounts by using their private login data logs from TheFacebook.[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-26)[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-27)
Following the official launch of the Facebook social media platform, the three filed a lawsuit against Zuckerberg that resulted in a settlement.[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-nytb2-28) The agreed settlement was for 1.2 million Facebook shares and \$20 million in cash (equivalent to \$28,047,543 in 2025).[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-29)
Zuckerberg's Facebook started off as just a "Harvard thing" until he decided to spread it to other schools, enlisting the help of roommate and co-founder [Dustin Moskovitz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dustin_Moskovitz "Dustin Moskovitz").[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-30) They began with [Columbia University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_University "Columbia University"), [New York University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_University "New York University"), [Stanford University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_University "Stanford University"), [Dartmouth College](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dartmouth_College "Dartmouth College"), [Cornell University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornell_University "Cornell University"), [University of Pennsylvania](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Pennsylvania "University of Pennsylvania"), [Brown University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_University "Brown University"), and [Yale University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yale_University "Yale University").[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-31)
Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard in his second year in order to complete the project.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-32) Zuckerberg, Moskovitz and the other co-founders moved to [Palo Alto, California](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palo_Alto,_California "Palo Alto, California"), where they leased a small house that served as an office. Over the summer, Zuckerberg met [Peter Thiel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Thiel "Peter Thiel"), who invested in his company. They got their first office in mid-2004. According to Zuckerberg, the group planned to return to Harvard, but eventually decided to remain in California, where Zuckerberg appreciated the "mythical place" of [Silicon Valley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Valley "Silicon Valley"), the center of computer technology in California.[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-33)[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-34) They had already turned down offers by major corporations to buy the company.[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-Exeter-35) The same year, speaking at [Y Combinator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y_Combinator_Inc "Y Combinator Inc")'s *Startup School* course at [Stanford University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_University "Stanford University"), Zuckerberg made a [controversial assertion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ageism "Ageism") that "young people are just smarter" and that other entrepreneurs should bias towards hiring young people.[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-36)
Earlier, in April 2009, Zuckerberg had sought the advice of former [Netscape](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape "Netscape") CFO [Peter Currie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Currie_\(businessman\) "Peter Currie (businessman)") regarding financing strategies for Facebook.[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-twsOctBPP-37) On July 21, 2010, Zuckerberg reported that Facebook had reached the 500-million-user mark.[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-38)
In 2010, [Steven Levy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Levy "Steven Levy"), who wrote the 1984 book *[Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackers:_Heroes_of_the_Computer_Revolution "Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution")*, wrote that Zuckerberg "clearly thinks of himself as a [hacker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_culture "Hacker culture")". Zuckerberg said that "it's OK to break things" "to make them better".[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-wired041910-39)[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-fast092410-40) Facebook instituted "[hackathons](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackathon "Hackathon")" held every six to eight weeks where participants would have one night to conceive of and complete a project.[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-wired041910-39) The company provided music, food, and beer at the hackathons, and many Facebook staff members, including Zuckerberg, regularly attended.[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-fast092410-40) "The idea is that you can build something really good in a night", Zuckerberg told Levy. "And that's part of the personality of Facebook now ... It's definitely very core to my personality."[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-wired041910-39)
In 2007, Zuckerberg was added to [MIT Technology Review](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_Technology_Review "MIT Technology Review")'s [TR35](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TR35 "TR35") list as one of the top 35 innovators in the world under the age of 35.[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-41) *[Vanity Fair](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanity_Fair_\(magazine\) "Vanity Fair (magazine)")* magazine named Zuckerberg number 1 on its 2010 list of the Top 100 "most influential people of the [Information Age](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_Age "Information Age")".[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-42) Zuckerberg ranked number 23 on the *Vanity Fair* 100 list in 2009.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-43) In 2010, Zuckerberg was chosen as number 16 in *[New Statesman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Statesman "New Statesman")*'s annual survey of the world's 50 most influential figures.[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-htanna-44)

Zuckerberg and Russian Prime Minister [Dmitry Medvedev](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitry_Medvedev "Dmitry Medvedev") during their meeting at the Russian leader's residence outside Moscow, October 1, 2012
On October 1, 2012, Zuckerberg met with then-Russian Prime Minister [Dmitry Medvedev](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitry_Medvedev "Dmitry Medvedev") in Moscow to stimulate social media innovation in Russia and to boost Facebook's position in the Russian market.[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-45)[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-46) Russia's communications minister tweeted that Medvedev persuaded Zuckerberg to open a research center in Moscow instead of trying to lure away Russian programmers. In 2012, Facebook had roughly 9 million users in Russia, while domestic clone [VK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VK_\(social_networking\) "VK (social networking)") had around 34 million.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-47)[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-48)
On August 19, 2013, *[The Washington Post](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Post "The Washington Post")* reported that Zuckerberg's Facebook profile was hacked by an unemployed web developer.[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-49)
At the 2013 [TechCrunch Disrupt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TechCrunch_Disrupt "TechCrunch Disrupt") conference, held in September, Zuckerberg stated that he was working towards registering the 5 billion people who were not connected to the Internet as of the conference on Facebook. Zuckerberg then explained that this was intertwined with the aim of the [Internet.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet.org "Internet.org") project, whereby Facebook, with the support of other technology companies, sought to increase the number of people connected to the internet.[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-Six-50)[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-Sew-51)
Zuckerberg was the keynote speaker at the 2014 [Mobile World Congress](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_World_Congress "Mobile World Congress") (MWC), held in [Barcelona](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcelona "Barcelona"), Spain, in March 2014, which was attended by 75,000 delegates. Various media sources highlighted the connection between Facebook's focus on mobile technology and Zuckerberg's speech, stating that mobile represented the future of the company.[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-52)
Alongside other American technology figures such as Jeff Bezos and [Tim Cook](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Cook "Tim Cook"), Zuckerberg hosted visiting Chinese politician [Lu Wei](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lu_Wei_\(politician\) "Lu Wei (politician)"), known as the "Internet czar" for his influence in the enforcement of China's online policy, at Facebook's headquarters on December 8, 2014. The meeting occurred after Zuckerberg participated in a Q\&A session at [Tsinghua University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsinghua_University "Tsinghua University") in Beijing, China, on October 23, 2014, where he conversed in [Mandarin Chinese](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Chinese "Standard Chinese").[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-53)

In January 2019, Zuckerberg laid plans to integrate an [end-to-end encrypted](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-to-end_encrypted "End-to-end encrypted") system for three major social media platforms, including Facebook, [Instagram](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instagram "Instagram") and [WhatsApp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WhatsApp "WhatsApp").[\[58\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-59) On August 14, 2020, Facebook integrated the chat systems for Instagram and Messenger on both iOS and Android devices. The update encouraged cross-communication between Instagram and Facebook users.[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-60)
### Other roles and projects
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mark_Zuckerberg,_World_Economic_Forum_2009_Annual_Meeting.jpg)
Zuckerberg at the [World Economic Forum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Economic_Forum "World Economic Forum") in [Davos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davos "Davos"), Switzerland (January 2009)
A month after Zuckerberg launched Facebook in February 2004, [i2hub](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I2hub "I2hub"), another campus-only service, created by [Wayne Chang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Chang "Wayne Chang") and focusing on [peer-to-peer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer "Peer-to-peer") file sharing, was launched. At the time, both i2hub and Facebook were gaining the attention of the press and growing rapidly in users and publicity. In August 2004, Zuckerberg, Andrew McCollum, [Adam D'Angelo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_D%27Angelo "Adam D'Angelo"), and [Sean Parker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Parker "Sean Parker") launched a competing peer-to-peer file sharing service called [Wirehog](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirehog "Wirehog"), a precursor to [Facebook Platform](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_Platform "Facebook Platform") applications, which was launched in 2007.[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-61)[\[61\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-62)[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-63)
In 2013, Zuckerberg launched [Internet.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet.org "Internet.org"), which he described as an initiative to provide Internet access to the five billion people without it as of the launch date. The project faced significant opposition in India, where activists said its limited internet ran counter to the principle of [net neutrality](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality "Net neutrality"); Zuckerberg responded by saying that a limited internet was better than no internet. Internet.org was shut down in India in February 2016.[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-64)[\[64\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-65)
Zuckerberg is a board member of the [solar sail](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_sail "Solar sail") spacecraft development project [Breakthrough Starshot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakthrough_Starshot "Breakthrough Starshot"), which he co-founded with [Yuri Milner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Milner "Yuri Milner") and [Stephen Hawking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Hawking "Stephen Hawking") in 2016.[\[65\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-66)
In 2026, Zuckerberg was appointed to the [President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President%27s_Council_of_Advisors_on_Science_and_Technology "President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology") (PCAST) by President [Donald Trump](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump "Donald Trump").[\[66\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-67)
## Lawsuits

### ConnectU lawsuits
Main article: [ConnectU](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ConnectU "ConnectU")
Harvard students [Cameron Winklevoss](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Winklevoss "Cameron Winklevoss"), [Tyler Winklevoss](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyler_Winklevoss "Tyler Winklevoss"), and [Divya Narendra](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divya_Narendra "Divya Narendra") accused Zuckerberg of intentionally making them believe he would help them build a social network called HarvardConnection.com (later called [ConnectU](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ConnectU "ConnectU")).[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-zuckerberghacked2-24) They filed a lawsuit in 2004; it was dismissed on a technicality on March 28, 2007. It was refiled soon thereafter in a [federal court](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_District_Court_for_the_District_of_Massachusetts "United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts") in [Boston](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston "Boston"). Facebook countersued in regards to Social Butterfly, a project put out by [The Winklevoss Chang Group](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Winklevoss_Chang_Group "The Winklevoss Chang Group"), an alleged partnership between ConnectU and [i2hub](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I2hub "I2hub"). On June 25, 2008, the case settled and Facebook agreed to transfer over 1.2 million common shares and pay \$20 million in cash (equivalent to \$30,013,960 in 2025).[\[67\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-68)
In November 2007, court documents were posted on the website of *[02138](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/02138 "02138")*, a magazine that catered to Harvard alumni. They included Zuckerberg's Social Security number, his parents' home address, and his girlfriend's address. Although Facebook filed to have the documents removed, the judge ruled in favor of *02138*.[\[68\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-autogenerated1-69)
### Eduardo Saverin
Main article: [Eduardo Saverin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eduardo_Saverin "Eduardo Saverin")
In 2005, Facebook co-founder [Eduardo Saverin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eduardo_Saverin "Eduardo Saverin") filed a lawsuit against Zuckerberg and Facebook, alleging that Zuckerberg had illegally spent Saverin's money on personal expenses. The lawsuit was settled out of court and, although terms of the settlement were sealed, the company affirmed Saverin's title as co-founder of Facebook, and Saverin agreed to stop talking to the press.[\[69\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-70)[\[70\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-71)
### Pakistan criminal investigation
In June 2010, then-Pakistani Deputy Attorney General Muhammad Azhar Sidiqque launched a criminal investigation into Zuckerberg and Facebook co-founders [Dustin Moskovitz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dustin_Moskovitz "Dustin Moskovitz") and [Chris Hughes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Hughes "Chris Hughes") after a "[Draw Muhammad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everybody_Draw_Mohammed_Day "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day")" contest was hosted on Facebook. The investigation also named the anonymous German woman who created the contest. Sidiqque asked the country's police to contact [Interpol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpol "Interpol") to have Zuckerberg and the three others arrested for [blasphemy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blasphemy_law "Blasphemy law"). On May 19, 2010, Facebook's website was temporarily blocked in Pakistan until Facebook removed the contest from its website at the end of May. Sidiqque also asked its UN representative to raise the issue with the [United Nations General Assembly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly "United Nations General Assembly").[\[71\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-72)[\[72\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-73)
### Paul Ceglia
Main article: [Paul Ceglia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Ceglia "Paul Ceglia")
In June 2010, Paul Ceglia, the owner of a wood [pellet fuel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pellet_fuel "Pellet fuel") company in [Allegany County, upstate New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegany_County,_New_York "Allegany County, New York"), filed a suit against Zuckerberg, claiming 84 percent ownership of Facebook and seeking monetary damages. According to Ceglia, he and Zuckerberg signed a contract on April 28, 2003, that an initial fee of \$1,000 (equivalent to \$1,750 in 2025) entitled Ceglia to 50% of the website's revenue, as well as an additional 1% interest in the business per day after January 1, 2004, until website completion. Zuckerberg was developing other projects at the time, among which was *Facemash*, the predecessor to Facebook, but did not register the domain name *thefacebook.com* until January 1, 2004. The Facebook management dismissed the lawsuit as "completely frivolous". Facebook spokesman Barry Schnitt told a reporter that Ceglia's counsel had unsuccessfully sought an out-of-court settlement.[\[73\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-74)[\[74\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-75)
On October 26, 2012, federal authorities arrested Ceglia, charging him with mail and wire fraud and of "tampering with, destroying and fabricating evidence in a scheme to defraud the Facebook founder of billions of dollars". Ceglia is accused of fabricating emails to make it appear that he and Zuckerberg discussed details about an early version of Facebook, although after examining their emails, investigators found there was no mention of Facebook in them.[\[75\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-76) Some law firms withdrew from the case before it was initiated and others after Ceglia's arrest.[\[76\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-77)[\[77\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-78)
### Hawaiian land ownership
In 2014, Zuckerberg purchased 700 acres of land on the Hawaiian island of [KauaĘťi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kauai "Kauai"). In January 2017, Zuckerberg filed eight "[quiet title](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiet_title "Quiet title") and [partition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_\(law\) "Partition (law)")" lawsuits against hundreds of [native Hawaiians](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Hawaiians "Native Hawaiians") to claim small tracts of land that they owned within his acreage.[\[78\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-:0-79) Zuckerberg responded to criticisms in a [Facebook](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook "Facebook") post, stating that the lawsuits were a good faith effort to pay the partial owners of the land their "fair share".[\[78\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-:0-79) When he learned that Hawaiian [land ownership law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property_law "Property law") differs from that of the other 49 states, he dropped the lawsuits. Zuckerberg stated that he regretted not taking the time to understand the process and its history before moving ahead.[\[79\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-80)[\[80\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-81) Eventually, an auction helped sell the pockets of land.[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-o200-82)[\[82\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-s048-83)
Zuckerberg paid \$17 million (equivalent to \$20,198,330 in 2025) to add 110 acres to his contentious 1,500-acre estate in [Kauai](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kauai "Kauai"), in December 2021.[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-o200-82)
At least \$145 million was spent by Zuckerberg on land in Kauai that he is developing into a massive 1,450-acre retreat that is partially gated off. In a January Instagram post, he uploaded a picture of a massive steak and joked that "of all my projects, this is the most delicious," indicating that he is rearing beer-fed Wagyu and Angus cattle on the property, involving his daughters in the process.[\[83\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-84)
### Testimonies before U.S. Congress
On April 10 and 11, 2018, Zuckerberg testified before the [United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_Committee_on_Commerce,_Science,_and_Transportation "United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation") regarding the usage of personal data by Facebook in relation to the [FacebookâCambridge Analytica data scandal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook%E2%80%93Cambridge_Analytica_data_scandal "FacebookâCambridge Analytica data scandal").[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-85)[\[85\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-:1-86) He called the whole affair a breach of trust between [Aleksandr Kogan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Kogan_\(scientist\) "Aleksandr Kogan (scientist)"), [Cambridge Analytica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_Analytica "Cambridge Analytica"), and Facebook.[\[86\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-87) Zuckerberg refused requests to appear to give evidence on the matter to a [Parliamentary](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliament_of_the_United_Kingdom "Parliament of the United Kingdom") committee in the United Kingdom.[\[87\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-88)
On October 1, 2020, the [US Senate Commerce Committee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_Committee_on_Commerce,_Science,_and_Transportation "United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation") unanimously voted to issue [subpoenas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpoenas "Subpoenas") to the CEOs of three top tech firms, including Zuckerberg, [Google](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google "Google")'s [Sundar Pichai](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundar_Pichai "Sundar Pichai") and [Twitter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter "Twitter")'s [Jack Dorsey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Dorsey "Jack Dorsey"). The subpoenas aimed to force the CEOs to testify about the legal immunity the law affords tech platforms under [Section 230 of the Communications Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_230 "Section 230") of 1934. US [Republicans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Party_\(United_States\) "Republican Party (United States)") argued that the law unduly protected social media companies against allegations of anti-conservative censorship.[\[88\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-89)
On March 25, 2021, Zuckerberg testified before the House Energy and Commerce Committee regarding Facebook's role in the spread of misinformation and hate speech on the platform. During the hearing, he was questioned about Facebook's handling of user data, its role in the [January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol Building](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_storming_of_the_United_States_Capitol "2021 storming of the United States Capitol"), and its efforts to combat misinformation and hate speech. Zuckerberg acknowledged that Facebook had a responsibility to address these issues and outlined the steps that the company is taking to improve its policies and practices. The hearing was part of a broader effort by Congress to hold tech companies accountable for their role in shaping public discourse and protecting user privacy.[\[89\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-90)
In a January 2024 [Senate Judiciary Committee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_Committee_on_the_Judiciary "United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary") hearing on child safety and social media platforms, Zuckerberg, along with other tech CEOs, were questioned about their companies' practices. During the hearing, he stood up, turned toward the audience, and apologized to the families of children who were victims of online abuse and harm.[\[90\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-91)[\[91\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-92)
### Opposition to Meta proposals for teenagers' mental health
Court documents allege that Zuckerberg personally rejected Meta's proposals to improve teenagers' mental health. He consistently opposed efforts to enhance well-being on Facebook and Instagram, overriding senior executives such as Instagram head [Adam Mosseri](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Mosseri "Adam Mosseri") and Global Affairs President [Nick Clegg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Clegg "Nick Clegg"), as revealed in an ongoing lawsuit. Internal communications disclosed in the Massachusetts-initiated legal action depict Zuckerberg's resistance to better protect over 30 million teens on Instagram in the U.S., highlighting his substantial influence on Meta's decisions impacting billions of users. These documents also shed light on occasional tensions between Zuckerberg and other Meta officials advocating for improved user well-being.[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-93)
### New Mexico lawsuit on Meta's lack of restriction on AI bots
The lawsuit alleges that Meta "failed to stem the tide of damaging sexual material and sexual propositions delivered to children" on Facebook and Instagram. Evidence showed that Mark Zuckerberg approved allowing minors to access AI chatbot companions that safety staffers warned were capable of sexual interactions.[\[93\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-94)

### *The Social Network*
Main article: [The Social Network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Social_Network "The Social Network")
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jesse_Eisenberg_by_Gage_Skidmore.jpg)
[Jesse Eisenberg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Eisenberg "Jesse Eisenberg") (pictured) played Zuckerberg in *[The Social Network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Social_Network "The Social Network")*.
A movie based on Zuckerberg and the founding years of Facebook, *[The Social Network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Social_Network "The Social Network")*, was released on October 1, 2010, starring [Jesse Eisenberg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Eisenberg "Jesse Eisenberg") as Zuckerberg. After Zuckerberg was told about the film, he responded, "I just wished that nobody made a movie of me while I was still alive."[\[94\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-95) Also, after the film's script was leaked on the Internet and it was apparent that the film would not portray Zuckerberg in a wholly positive light, he stated that he wanted to establish himself as a "good guy".[\[95\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-96) The film is based on the book *[The Accidental Billionaires](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Accidental_Billionaires "The Accidental Billionaires")* by [Ben Mezrich](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Mezrich "Ben Mezrich"), which the book's publicist once described as "big juicy fun" rather than "reportage".[\[96\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-97) The film's screenwriter [Aaron Sorkin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Sorkin "Aaron Sorkin") told [*New York* magazine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_\(magazine\) "New York (magazine)"), "I don't want my fidelity to be the truth; I want it to be storytelling", adding, "What is the big deal about accuracy purely for accuracy's sake, and can we not have the true be the enemy of the good?".[\[97\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-98)
Upon winning the [Golden Globe Award](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Globe_Award "Golden Globe Award") for Best Picture on January 16, 2011, producer [Scott Rudin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Rudin "Scott Rudin") thanked Facebook and Zuckerberg "for his willingness to allow us to use his life and work as a [metaphor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphor "Metaphor") through which to tell a story about communication and the way we relate to each other".[\[98\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-99) Sorkin, who won for Best Screenplay, retracted some of the impressions given in his script:[\[99\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-100)
I wanted to say to Mark Zuckerberg tonight, if you're watching, [Rooney Mara](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooney_Mara "Rooney Mara")'s character makes a prediction at the beginning of the movie. She was wrong. You turned out to be a great entrepreneur, a visionary, and an incredible altruist.
In January 2011, Zuckerberg made a surprise guest appearance on *[Saturday Night Live](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_Night_Live "Saturday Night Live")*, which was hosted by Jesse Eisenberg. They both said it was the first time they had met.[\[100\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-101) Eisenberg asked Zuckerberg, who had been critical of his portrayal by the film, what he thought of the movie. Zuckerberg replied, "It was interesting."[\[101\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-102) In a subsequent interview about their meeting, Eisenberg explained that he was "nervous to meet him, because I had spent now, a year and a half thinking about him ...". He added, "Mark has been so gracious about something that's really so uncomfortable ... The fact that he would do *SNL* and make fun of the situation is so sweet and so generous. It's the best possible way to handle something that, I think, could otherwise be very uncomfortable."[\[102\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-103)[\[103\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-104)
#### Disputed accuracy
According to [David Kirkpatrick](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Kirkpatrick_\(author\) "David Kirkpatrick (author)"), former technology editor at *[Fortune](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_\(magazine\) "Fortune (magazine)")* magazine and author of *[The Facebook Effect: The Inside Story of the Company That Is Connecting the World](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Facebook_Effect "The Facebook Effect")* (2011),[\[104\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-105) "the film is only 40% true ... he is not snide and sarcastic in a cruel way, the way Zuckerberg is played in the movie." He says that "a lot of the factual incidents are accurate, but many are distorted, and the overall impression is false" and concludes that primarily "his motivations were to try and come up with a new way to share information on the Internet".[\[105\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-BBCmovie-106)
Although the film portrayed Zuckerberg's creation of Facebook in order to elevate his stature after not getting into any of the elite [final clubs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Officially_unrecognized_Harvard_College_social_clubs "Officially unrecognized Harvard College social clubs") at Harvard, Zuckerberg stated that he had no interest in joining the clubs.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-NEWYORKER2010-8) Kirkpatrick agreed that the impression implied by the film is "false". Karel Baloun, a former senior engineer at Facebook, noted that the "image of Zuckerberg as a socially inept nerd is overstated ... It is fiction ...". He likewise dismissed the film's assertion that he "would deliberately betray a friend".[\[105\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-BBCmovie-106)
### Other depictions
Zuckerberg voiced himself on an episode of *[The Simpsons](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Simpsons "The Simpsons")* titled "[Loan-a Lisa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loan-a_Lisa "Loan-a Lisa")", which first aired on October 3, 2010. In the episode, [Lisa Simpson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Simpson "Lisa Simpson") and her friend Nelson encounter Zuckerberg at an entrepreneurs' convention. Zuckerberg tells Lisa that she does not need to graduate from college to be wildly successful, referencing [Bill Gates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates "Bill Gates") and [Richard Branson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Branson "Richard Branson") as examples.[\[106\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-107) On October 9, 2010, *[Saturday Night Live](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_Night_Live "Saturday Night Live")* lampooned Zuckerberg and Facebook.[\[107\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-108) [Andy Samberg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Samberg "Andy Samberg") portrayed the role of Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg himself was reported to have been amused, "I thought this was funny."[\[108\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-109)
[Stephen Colbert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Colbert "Stephen Colbert") awarded a "Medal of Fear" to Zuckerberg at the [Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rally_to_Restore_Sanity_and/or_Fear "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear") on October 30, 2010, "because he values his privacy much more than he values yours".[\[109\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-110) Zuckerberg appeared in the climax of 2013 documentary film *[Terms and Conditions May Apply](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terms_and_Conditions_May_Apply "Terms and Conditions May Apply")*.[\[110\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-111)[\[111\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-112)[\[112\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-113) The *[South Park](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Park "South Park")* episode "[Franchise Prequel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franchise_Prequel "Franchise Prequel")" mocked him. According to [CNET](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNET "CNET"), he was portrayed as "a rosy-cheeked bully nerd who utters strange noises, makes peculiar kung fu gestures and turns up wherever he likes in people's houses".[\[113\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-114)

Zuckerberg founded the [Startup:Education](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Startup:Education "Startup:Education") foundation.[\[114\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-115) It was reported in September 2010 that he had donated \$100 million (equivalent to \$147,642,301 in 2025) to [Newark Public Schools](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newark_Public_Schools "Newark Public Schools"), the public school system of [Newark, New Jersey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newark,_New_Jersey "Newark, New Jersey").[\[115\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-116)[\[116\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-117) Critics noted the timing of the donation as being close to the release of *The Social Network*, which painted a somewhat negative portrait of Zuckerberg.[\[117\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-118) Zuckerberg responded to the criticism, saying, "The thing that I was most sensitive about with the movie timing was, I didn't want the press about *The Social Network* movie to get conflated with the Newark project. I was thinking about doing this anonymously just so that the two things could be kept separate."[\[118\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-forbes20100924-119) Newark Mayor [Cory Booker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cory_Booker "Cory Booker") stated that he and New Jersey Governor [Chris Christie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Christie "Chris Christie") had to convince Zuckerberg's team not to make the donation anonymously.[\[118\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-forbes20100924-119) The money was largely wasted, according to journalist Dale Russakoff.[\[119\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-120)[\[120\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-121)
In 2010, Zuckerberg, [Bill Gates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates "Bill Gates"), and investor [Warren Buffett](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Buffett "Warren Buffett") signed [The Giving Pledge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Giving_Pledge "The Giving Pledge"), in which they said they would donate to charity at least half of their wealth over the course of time, and invited others among the wealthy to donate 50 percent or more of their wealth to charity.[\[121\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-122) In December 2012, Zuckerberg and his wife [Priscilla Chan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priscilla_Chan "Priscilla Chan") said that over the course of their lives they would give the majority of their wealth to "advancing human potential and promoting equality" in the spirit of The Giving Pledge.[\[122\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-123)[\[123\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-124)
In December 2013, Zuckerberg announced a donation of 18 million Facebook shares to the [Silicon Valley Community Foundation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Valley_Community_Foundation "Silicon Valley Community Foundation"), to be executed by the end of the monthâbased on Facebook's valuation as of then, the shares totaled \$990 million in value (equivalent to \$1,368,321,429 in 2025). Later that month, the donation was recognized as the largest charitable gift on public record for that year.[\[124\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-125) *[The Chronicle of Philanthropy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chronicle_of_Philanthropy "The Chronicle of Philanthropy")* placed Zuckerberg and his wife at the top of the magazine's annual list of 50 most generous Americans for 2013, having donated roughly \$1 billion to charity (equivalent to \$1,382,142,857 in 2025).[\[125\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-usa-today-biggest-giver-126)
In October 2014, Zuckerberg and his wife donated \$25 million (equivalent to \$33,999,859 in 2025) to combat the [Ebola virus disease](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebola_virus_disease "Ebola virus disease"), specifically the [West African Ebola virus epidemic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_African_Ebola_virus_epidemic "West African Ebola virus epidemic").[\[126\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-127)[\[127\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-128) The couple endowed the foundation of the [San Francisco General Hospital](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_General_Hospital "San Francisco General Hospital") in February 2015 with \$75 million (equivalent to \$101,870,701 in 2025), which was the biggest individual donation to a U.S. public hospital. The hospital honored them by renaming itself as The Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center. Later in 2020, the [San Francisco Board of Supervisors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Board_of_Supervisors "San Francisco Board of Supervisors") passed a near-unanimous, non-binding measure condemning the renaming, citing concerns that a public hospital should not be named after an individual whose social media platform is accused of "endangering public health, spreading misinformation, and violating privacy".[\[128\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-129) On December 1, 2015, the couple pledged to transfer 99% of their Facebook shares, then valued at \$45 billion (equivalent to \$61,122,420,329 in 2025), to the [Chan Zuckerberg Initiative](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chan_Zuckerberg_Initiative "Chan Zuckerberg Initiative") (CZI).[\[129\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-130) The funds would not be transferred immediately, but over the course of their lives.[\[130\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-BBC_News_1_December_2015-131) Instead of forming a charitable corporation to donate the value of the stock to, as [Bill Gates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates "Bill Gates"), [Warren Buffett](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Buffett "Warren Buffett"), [Larry Page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Page "Larry Page"), [Sergey Brin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Brin "Sergey Brin") and other billionaires have done, Zuckerberg and Chan chose to use the structure of a [limited liability company (LLC)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_liability_company "Limited liability company"). Some journalists and academics have said the CZI conducts [philanthrocapitalism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philanthrocapitalism "Philanthrocapitalism").[\[131\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-132)[\[132\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-133)[\[133\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-134)
In 2016, CZI gave \$600 million (equivalent to \$804,908,486 in 2025) to create the tax-exempt charity [Chan Zuckerberg Biohub](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chan_Zuckerberg_Biohub "Chan Zuckerberg Biohub"), a collaborative research space in San Francisco's [Mission Bay district](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_Bay,_San_Francisco "Mission Bay, San Francisco") near the [University of California, San Francisco](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_California,_San_Francisco "University of California, San Francisco"), with the intent to foster interaction and collaboration between scientists at UCSF, [University of California, Berkeley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_California,_Berkeley "University of California, Berkeley"), and [Stanford University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_University "Stanford University"). Intellectual property generated would be jointly owned by Biohub and the discoverer's home institution. Unlike foundations such as the [Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_and_Melinda_Gates_Foundation "Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation"), which open up all research funded to unrestricted access and reuse by the public, Biohub retained the right to commercialize any research it funds. Inventors will have the option of making their discoveries open-source, with permission from Biohub.[\[134\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-135)[\[135\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-136)[\[136\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-137) To increase access to scientific research and promote open science, CZ Biohub requires its investigators and staff scientists to publish submitted manuscripts and related data on [preprints](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preprint "Preprint") servers such as [bioRxiv](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioRxiv "BioRxiv").[\[137\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-138)[\[138\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-139) Amidst the [COVID-19 pandemic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic "COVID-19 pandemic"), Zuckerberg announced \$25 million (equivalent to \$31,101,324 in 2025) in grants to support local journalism that was impacted by the pandemic and \$75 million (equivalent to \$93,303,973 in 2025) in advertisement purchases in local newspapers by [Facebook, Inc.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook,_Inc.

In 2002, Zuckerberg registered to vote in [Westchester County, New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westchester_County,_New_York "Westchester County, New York"), where he grew up, but did not cast a ballot until November 2008. Then [Santa Clara County](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Clara_County,_California "Santa Clara County, California") Registrar of Voters Spokeswoman, Elma Rosas, told Bloomberg that Zuckerberg is listed as "no preference" on voter rolls, and he voted in at least two of the past three general elections, in [2008](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_elections,_2008 "United States elections, 2008") and [2012](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_elections,_2012 "United States elections, 2012").[\[140\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-141)[\[141\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-142)
Zuckerberg has never revealed his own political affiliation or voting history. In February 2013, Zuckerberg hosted his first ever fundraising event for then-New Jersey Governor [Chris Christie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Christie "Chris Christie"). His particular interest on this occasion was education reform, and Christie's education reform work focused on teachers unions and the expansion of charter schools.[\[142\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-143)[\[143\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-144) Later that year, Zuckerberg hosted a campaign fundraiser for then-Newark mayor [Cory Booker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cory_Booker "Cory Booker"), who was running in the [2013 New Jersey special Senate election](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_special_election_in_New_Jersey,_2013 "United States Senate special election in New Jersey, 2013").[\[144\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-145) In September 2010, with the support of Governor Chris Christie, Booker obtained a US\$100 million (equivalent to \$147,642,301 in 2025) pledge from Zuckerberg to [Newark Public Schools](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newark_Public_Schools "Newark Public Schools").[\[145\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-146) In December 2012, Zuckerberg donated 18 million shares to the [Silicon Valley Community Foundation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Valley_Community_Foundation "Silicon Valley Community Foundation"), a community organization that includes education in its list of grant-making areas.[\[146\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-education-147)[\[147\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-mercury-news-achievement-gap-148)
On April 11, 2013, Zuckerberg led the launch of a [501(c)(4) lobbying group](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/501\(c\)_organization "501(c) organization") called [FWD.us](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FWD.us "FWD.us"). The founders and contributors to the group were primarily Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and investors, and its president was [Joe Green](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Green_\(entrepreneur\) "Joe Green (entrepreneur)"), a close friend of Zuckerberg.[\[148\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-fwd-us-techcrunch1-149)[\[149\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-fwd-us-techcrunch2-150) The goals of the group include [immigration reform](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_reform "Immigration reform"), improving the state of education in the United States, and enabling more technological breakthroughs that benefit the public,[\[150\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-fwd-us-zuck-op-ed-151)[\[151\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-fwd-us-about-us-152) yet it has also been criticized for financing ads advocating a variety of oil and gas development initiatives, including drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the Keystone XL pipeline.[\[152\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-zuckerberg_takes_heat-153) In 2013, numerous liberal and progressive groups, such as [The League of Conservation Voters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_Conservation_Voters "League of Conservation Voters"), [MoveOn.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MoveOn.org "MoveOn.org"), the [Sierra Club](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra_Club "Sierra Club"), [Democracy for America](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_for_America "Democracy for America"), CREDO, [Daily Kos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daily_Kos "Daily Kos"), [350\.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/350.org "350.org"), and Presente and Progressives United agreed to either not buy or pull their Facebook ads for at least two weeks, in protest of ads funded by FWD.us that were in support of oil drilling and the [Keystone XL pipeline](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystone_XL "Keystone XL"), and in opposition to [Obamacare](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patient_Protection_and_Affordable_Care_Act "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act") among Republican United States senators who back immigration reform.[\[153\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-154)
A media report on June 20, 2013, revealed that Zuckerberg actively engaged with Facebook users on his own profile page after the online publication of a FWD.us video. In response to a claim that the FWD.us organization is "just about tech wanting to hire more people", the Internet entrepreneur replied, "The bigger problem we're trying to address is ensuring the 11 million undocumented folks living in this country now and similar folks in the future are treated fairly."[\[154\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-155)
In June 2013, Zuckerberg joined Facebook employees in a company float as part of the annual [San Francisco Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Celebration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Pride "San Francisco Pride"). The company first participated in the event in 2011, with 70 employees, and this number increased to 700 for the 2013 march. The 2013 pride celebration was especially significant, as it followed a [U.S. Supreme Court](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States "Supreme Court of the United States") ruling that deemed the [Defense of Marriage Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_of_Marriage_Act "Defense of Marriage Act") (DOMA) unconstitutional.[\[155\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-156)[\[156\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-157)
When questioned about the mid-2013 [PRISM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_\(surveillance_program\) "PRISM (surveillance program)") scandal at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in September 2013, Zuckerberg stated that the U.S. government "blew it". He further explained that the government performed poorly in regard to the protection of the freedoms of its citizens, the economy, and companies.[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-Six-50)

Zuckerberg placed a statement on his Facebook wall on December 9, 2015, which said that he wants "to add my voice in support of Muslims in our community and around the world" in response to the [aftermath](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_presidential_campaign,_2016#Policies_targeting_Muslims "Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016") of the [November 2015 Paris attacks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_2015_Paris_attacks "November 2015 Paris attacks") and the [2015 San Bernardino attack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_San_Bernardino_attack "2015 San Bernardino attack").[\[157\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-protect-158)[\[158\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-fbpost2015-159)[\[159\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-gd1215-160)[\[160\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-yt1215-161) The statement also said that Muslims are "always welcome" on Facebook, and that his position was a result of the fact that, "[as a Jew](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_culture "Jewish culture"), my parents taught me that we must stand up against attacks on all communities."[\[161\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-haar1215-162)[\[162\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-ind1215-163)
On February 24, 2016, Zuckerberg sent out a company-wide internal memo to employees formally rebuking employees who had crossed out handwritten "[Black Lives Matter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Lives_Matter "Black Lives Matter")" phrases on the company walls and had written "All Lives Matter" in their place. Facebook allows employees to free-write thoughts and phrases on company walls. The memo was then leaked by several employees. As Zuckerberg had previously condemned this practice at previous company meetings, and other similar requests had been issued by other leaders at Facebook, Zuckerberg wrote in the memo that he would now consider this overwriting practice not only disrespectful, but "malicious as well". According to Zuckerberg's memo, "*Black Lives Matter* doesn't mean other lives don't â it's simply asking that the black community also achieves the justice they deserve." The memo also noted that the act of crossing something out in itself "means silencing speech, or that one person's speech is more important than another's". Zuckerberg also said in the memo that he would be launching investigations into the incidents.[\[163\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-shaunking-zuckerberg-164)[\[164\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-guynn-165)[\[165\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-benjaminsnyder-166) The *[New York Daily News](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Daily_News "New York Daily News")* interviewed Facebook employees who commented anonymously that, "Zuckerberg was genuinely angry about the incident and it really encouraged staff that Zuckerberg showed a clear understanding of why the phrase 'Black Lives Matter' must exist, as well as why writing through it is a form of harassment and erasure."[\[163\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-shaunking-zuckerberg-164)
In January 2017, Zuckerberg criticized [Donald Trump](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump "Donald Trump")'s [executive order](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_travel_ban "Trump travel ban") to harshly limit immigrants and refugees from some countries.[\[166\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-167) He also funded a state-level ballot initiative for the [2020 general election](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_elections "2020 United States elections") that would raise taxes by altering California's [Proposition 13](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split_roll "Split roll") to require the tax assessment of commercial and industrial properties in the state at market rate.[\[167\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-168)
Especially in his twenties, Zuckerberg had financially supported various progressive causes such as immigration reform and social justice. At least among Republicans, he was generally seen as pro-[liberal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_liberalism_in_the_United_States "Modern liberalism in the United States"). In an August 2024 letter to the [House Judiciary Committee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_Judiciary_Committee "House Judiciary Committee") however, Zuckerberg stated he regretted not doing more to resist pressure from the Biden administration to censor content related to [COVID-19](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19 "COVID-19"). He also noted he no longer intends to donate towards election infrastructure; Republicans had seen those contributions as non-neutral, labeling them "Zuckerbucks". By 2024, Zuckerberg was discouraging employee activism at Facebook, and according to *[The New York Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times "The New York Times")*, had privately described his politics as leaning towards [libertarianism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarianism "Libertarianism") or [classical liberalism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_liberalism "Classical liberalism").[\[168\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-169)[\[169\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-170)[\[170\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-171)[\[171\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-172)

In Donald Trump's book [*Save America*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Save_America_\(book\) "Save America (book)"), published in September 2024, Trump described Zuckerberg's visits to the White House and wrote, "We are watching him closely, and if he does anything illegal this time he will spend the rest of his life in prison â as will others who cheat in the [2024 Presidential Election](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election "2024 United States presidential election")."[\[172\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-173) Two months later, they dined at the [Mar-a-Lago](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar-a-Lago "Mar-a-Lago") resort, with Zuckerberg reportedly aiming to mend his and his firm's relationship with Trump after the latter won the election.[\[173\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-174) Around the same time, Meta reportedly donated \$1 million to a Trump-related fund.[\[174\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-175) In January 2025, he said: "We now have a U.S. administration that is proud of our leading companies, prioritizes American technology winning and that will defend our values and interests abroad."[\[175\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-176) Zuckerberg was one of a handful of technology leaders positioned prominently at Trump's inauguration. In March 2025, Zuckerberg mentioned his relationship with the Trump administration while seeking a favorable settlement in, [FTC v. Meta](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTC_v._Meta "FTC v. Meta"), an [antitrust case](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antitrust_case "Antitrust case") where the [Federal Trade Commission](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Trade_Commission "Federal Trade Commission") (FTC) was asking for \$30 billion.[\[176\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-177)[\[177\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-178)

### Recognition and public image
[*Time*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_\(magazine\) "Time (magazine)") named Zuckerberg [one of the most influential people in the world](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_100 "Time 100") in 2008, 2011, 2016, 2019 and 2025, and nominated him as a finalist several other times. He was named the [*Time* Person of the Year](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Person_of_the_Year "Time Person of the Year") in 2010, the same year when Facebook eclipsed more than half a billion users.[\[197\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-198) He was also included in the *Time* 100 AI list in 2024.[\[198\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-199) In December 2016, Zuckerberg was ranked tenth on the [*Forbes* list of the World's Most Powerful People](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbes_list_of_the_World%27s_Most_Powerful_People "Forbes list of the World's Most Powerful People").[\[199\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-200) In the [*Forbes* 400](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbes_400 "Forbes 400") list of wealthiest Americans in 2023, he was ranked eighth with a personal wealth of \$106 billion (equivalent to \$112,008,519,004 in 2025).[\[200\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-201) In October 2024, he became the second richest person in the world.[\[201\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-202)[\[202\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-203) As of October 2025[\[update\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mark_Zuckerberg&action=edit), Zuckerberg's net worth was estimated at \$251 billion by *[Forbes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbes "Forbes")*, making him the third richest person in the world.[\[203\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-204) In addition to his estate in Hawaii, Zuckerberg has a \$320 million (equivalent to \$380,203,856 in 2025) real estate portfolio that includes ten homes in Palo Alto, San Francisco, and Lake Tahoe, totaling over 1,400 acres.[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-o200-82)
Zuckerberg shifted his style in 2024.[\[204\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-205)[\[205\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-206) Originally known wearing the same gray shirt and jeans in most public appearances, Zuckerberg started wearing gold chains and trendier streetwear.[\[206\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-207)[\[207\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-208)[\[208\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-209) Writing for *[Vanity Fair](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanity_Fair_\(magazine\) "Vanity Fair (magazine)")*, Kase Wickman described Zuckerberg's "new look" as a "[MAGA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_America_Great_Again "Make America Great Again") rebrand", claiming that his change in fashion parallels Meta's efforts to appease the Trump administration.[\[209\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-210) Zuckerberg denied hiring a stylist.[\[210\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-211)
### Yacht fleet
In 2017, Zuckerberg called for action to stop [global warming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming "Global warming") in a commencement speech at [Harvard University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_University "Harvard University").[\[211\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-:2-212) Seven years later, he purchased the mega-yacht *Launchpad* (formerly *Project 1010*) for about \$300 million; the vessel is approximately 118â119 m (387 ft) and was delivered by Feadship in 2024.[\[212\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-213)[\[213\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-214)[\[214\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-215)
Zuckerberg also operates a smaller support/shadow yacht, *Wingman*, built by Damen Yachting in 2014 (approx. 67 m/220 ft), which functions as a tender and logistics platform for *Launchpad*; media have placed its value around \$30 million.[\[215\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-216)[\[216\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-217) In early 2025, multiple outlets reported the two-vessel fleet operating together, including in the Arctic. *Launchpad* was tracked at [Longyearbyen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longyearbyen "Longyearbyen") (Svalbard), where local activists staged protests over emissions.[\[217\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-218)[\[218\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-219)[\[219\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-220)
During the Easter period of 2025, Sustainability Times described a roughly 5,280-mile voyage to Norway's fjords using the two-yacht fleet for a heliskiing trip. The article asserted by using *Wingman'*s helipad offshore, operations avoided helicopter landings on Norwegian soil, which are generally restricted for tourism.[\[220\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-221)[\[221\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-222) Earlier, in late 2024 and early 2025, lifestyle media reported that *Launchpad* sailed roughly 4,800 miles to French Polynesia and waited in Tahiti for weeks without Zuckerberg boarding.[\[222\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-223)[\[223\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-224)
### Religious beliefs and other interests
Born and raised in a Reform Jewish household, Zuckerberg later identified himself as an atheist. However, he said in 2016 that, "I went through a period where I questioned things, but now I believe religion is very important."[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-Kirkpatrick-10)[\[224\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-225)[\[225\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-226) During 2017, he and his wife began a tour of America "to visit every state in the union and learn more about a sliver of the nearly two billion people who regularly use the social network". He met with farmers and business owners, and spoke at the [Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emanuel_African_Methodist_Episcopal_Church "Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church"), where [a 2015 shooting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charleston_church_shooting "Charleston church shooting") took place.[\[226\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-227)[\[227\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-228)
In 2022, Zuckerberg took up training in both [mixed martial arts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_martial_arts "Mixed martial arts") (MMA) and [Brazilian jiu-jitsu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_jiu-jitsu "Brazilian jiu-jitsu") (BJJ), and has been open about his love for the two sports.[\[228\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-229) He competed in a BJJ tournament on May 6, 2023, and won both a silver and gold medal in [gi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BJJ_gi "BJJ gi") and no gi, competing at white belt.[\[229\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-230) In July 2023, he was promoted to [blue belt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BJJ_belt "BJJ belt") in Brazilian jiu-jitsu by Dave Camarillo.[\[230\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-231) Four months later, Zuckerberg announced that he was preparing to make his MMA debut but had suffered an [anterior cruciate ligament injury](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_cruciate_ligament_injury "Anterior cruciate ligament injury") in training that required surgery and had delayed this.[\[231\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-232)

**Mark Elliot Zuckerberg** (; born May 14, 1984) is an American businessman and programmer who co-founded the social media service [Facebook](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook "Facebook") and its parent company [Meta Platforms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_Platforms "Meta Platforms"). He serves as its chairman, chief executive officer (CEO), and [controlling shareholder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlling_interest "Controlling interest").
Zuckerberg briefly attended [Harvard College](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_College "Harvard College"), and [launched Facebook](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Facebook "History of Facebook") there in February 2004 with his roommates [Eduardo Saverin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eduardo_Saverin "Eduardo Saverin"), [Andrew McCollum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_McCollum "Andrew McCollum"), [Dustin Moskovitz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dustin_Moskovitz "Dustin Moskovitz") and [Chris Hughes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Hughes "Chris Hughes"). Zuckerberg took the [company public in May 2012](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_public_offering_of_Facebook "Initial public offering of Facebook") with majority shares. He became the world's youngest [self-made](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-made_man "Self-made man") billionaire[\[a\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-3) in 2008 at age 23 and has consistently ranked among the [world's wealthiest people](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World%27s_Billionaires "The World's Billionaires"). According to *[Forbes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbes "Forbes")*, Zuckerberg's estimated net worth stood at US\$220 billion as of December 2025.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-Forbes-4)
He has used his funds to organize multiple large donations, including the establishment of the [Chan Zuckerberg Initiative](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chan_Zuckerberg_Initiative "Chan Zuckerberg Initiative"). A film based on Zuckerberg's early career, legal troubles and initial success with Facebook, *[The Social Network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Social_Network "The Social Network")*, was released in 2010. His prominence and fast rise in the [technology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology "Technology") industry has prompted political and legal attention. He has been the subject of multiple lawsuits regarding the creation and ownership of the website as well as issues such as user privacy.
Early life
Mark Elliot Zuckerberg was born on May 14, 1984, in [White Plains, New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Plains,_New_York "White Plains, New York"), to [Jewish](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews "Jews") parents Dr. Edward Zuckerberg, a dentist, and Karen ([nĂŠe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birth_name#Maiden_and_married_names "Birth name") Kempner), a psychiatrist.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-5)[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-6) He and his three sisters (Arielle, [Randi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randi_Zuckerberg "Randi Zuckerberg"), and [Donna](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donna_Zuckerberg "Donna Zuckerberg")) were raised in a [Reform Jewish](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reform_Judaism "Reform Judaism") household[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-Haartez-7) in [Dobbs Ferry, New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dobbs_Ferry,_New_York "Dobbs Ferry, New York").[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-NEWYORKER2010-8) Their great-grandparents were [emigrants](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emigrants "Emigrants") from Austria, Germany, and Poland.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-9) Zuckerberg initially attended [Ardsley High School](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardsley_High_School "Ardsley High School") before transferring to [Phillips Exeter Academy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillips_Exeter_Academy "Phillips Exeter Academy"). He was captain of the fencing team.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-Kirkpatrick-10)[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-11)
Software development
Early years
Zuckerberg learned computer programming in his childhood. At about the age of eleven, he created "ZuckNet", a program that allowed computers at the family home and his father's dental office to communicate with each other.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-12) During Zuckerberg's high-school years, he worked to build a music player called the Synapse Media Player. The device used [machine learning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning "Machine learning") to learn the user's listening habits, which was posted to *[Slashdot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashdot "Slashdot")*[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-13) and received a rating of 3 out of 5 from *[PC Magazine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_Magazine "PC Magazine")*.[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-14) *[The New Yorker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Yorker "The New Yorker")* once said of Zuckerberg, "some kids played computer games. Mark created them."[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-NEWYORKER2010-8) While still in high school, he attended [Mercy College](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercy_University "Mercy University") taking a graduate computer course on Thursday evenings.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-NEWYORKER2010-8)
College years
*The New Yorker* noted that by the time Zuckerberg began classes at [Harvard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_College "Harvard College") in 2002, he had already achieved a "reputation as a programming prodigy".[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-NEWYORKER2010-8) He studied [psychology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology "Psychology") and [computer science](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_science "Computer science"),[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-15) resided in [Kirkland House](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirkland_House "Kirkland House"),[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-16) and belonged to [Alpha Epsilon Pi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Epsilon_Pi "Alpha Epsilon Pi").[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-NEWYORKER2010-8) In his [second](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophomore "Sophomore") year, he wrote a program that he called CourseMatch, which allowed users to make class selection decisions based on the choices of other students and help them form study groups.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-17) Later, he created a different program he initially called [Facemash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Facebook#FaceMash "History of Facebook") that let students select the best-looking person from a choice of photos. Arie Hasit, Zuckerberg's roommate at the time, explained:
> We had books called "Face Books", which included the names and pictures of everyone who lived in the student dorms. At first, he built a site and placed two pictures, or pictures of two males and two females. Visitors to the site had to choose who was "hotter" and according to the votes there would be a ranking.[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-Hasit-18)
The site went up over a weekend, but by Monday morning, the college shut it down, because its popularity had overwhelmed one of Harvard's [network switches](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch "Network switch"), preventing students from accessing the Internet.[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-19) In addition, many students complained that their photos were being used without permission. Zuckerberg apologized publicly, and the student paper ran articles stating that his site was "completely improper".[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-Hasit-18)

In January 2004, Zuckerberg began writing code for a new website.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-Hoffman,_Claire2-21) On February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched "Thefacebook", originally located at thefacebook.com, in partnership with his roommates [Eduardo Saverin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eduardo_Saverin "Eduardo Saverin"), [Andrew McCollum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_McCollum "Andrew McCollum"), [Dustin Moskovitz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dustin_Moskovitz "Dustin Moskovitz"), and [Chris Hughes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Hughes "Chris Hughes").[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-skepticism2-22)[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-rww051009-23) An earlier inspiration for Facebook may have come from [Phillips Exeter Academy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillips_Exeter_Academy "Phillips Exeter Academy"), the prep school from which Zuckerberg graduated in 2002. It published its own student directory, "The Photo Address Book", which students referred to as "The Facebook". Such photo directories were an important part of the student social experience at many private schools. With them, students were able to list attributes such as their class years, their friends, and their telephone numbers.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-rww051009-23)

Zuckerberg in 2005
Six days after the site launched, three Harvard seniors, [Cameron Winklevoss](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Winklevoss "Cameron Winklevoss"), [Tyler Winklevoss](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyler_Winklevoss "Tyler Winklevoss"), and [Divya Narendra](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divya_Narendra "Divya Narendra"), accused Zuckerberg of intentionally misleading them into believing that he would help them build a social network called [HarvardConnection.com](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ConnectU "ConnectU"), when he was using their ideas to build a competing product.[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-zuckerberghacked2-24) The three complained to *[The Harvard Crimson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Harvard_Crimson "The Harvard Crimson")*, and the newspaper began an investigation in response. While Zuckerberg tried to convince the editors not to run the story,[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-25) he also broke into two of the editors' email accounts by using their private login data logs from TheFacebook.[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-26)[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-27)
Following the official launch of the Facebook social media platform, the three filed a lawsuit against Zuckerberg that resulted in a settlement.[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-nytb2-28) The agreed settlement was for 1.2 million Facebook shares and \$20 million in cash (equivalent to \$28,047,543 in 2025).[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-29)
Zuckerberg's Facebook started off as just a "Harvard thing" until he decided to spread it to other schools, enlisting the help of roommate and co-founder [Dustin Moskovitz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dustin_Moskovitz "Dustin Moskovitz").[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-30) They began with [Columbia University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_University "Columbia University"), [New York University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_University "New York University"), [Stanford University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_University "Stanford University"), [Dartmouth College](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dartmouth_College "Dartmouth College"), [Cornell University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornell_University "Cornell University"), [University of Pennsylvania](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Pennsylvania "University of Pennsylvania"), [Brown University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_University "Brown University"), and [Yale University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yale_University "Yale University").[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-31)
Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard in his second year in order to complete the project.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-32) Zuckerberg, Moskovitz and the other co-founders moved to [Palo Alto, California](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palo_Alto,_California "Palo Alto, California"), where they leased a small house that served as an office. Over the summer, Zuckerberg met [Peter Thiel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Thiel "Peter Thiel"), who invested in his company. They got their first office in mid-2004. According to Zuckerberg, the group planned to return to Harvard, but eventually decided to remain in California, where Zuckerberg appreciated the "mythical place" of [Silicon Valley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Valley "Silicon Valley"), the center of computer technology in California.[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-33)[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-34) They had already turned down offers by major corporations to buy the company.[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-Exeter-35) The same year, speaking at [Y Combinator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y_Combinator_Inc "Y Combinator Inc")'s *Startup School* course at [Stanford University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_University "Stanford University"), Zuckerberg made a [controversial assertion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ageism "Ageism") that "young people are just smarter" and that other entrepreneurs should bias towards hiring young people.[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-36)
Earlier, in April 2009, Zuckerberg had sought the advice of former [Netscape](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape "Netscape") CFO [Peter Currie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Currie_\(businessman\) "Peter Currie (businessman)") regarding financing strategies for Facebook.[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-twsOctBPP-37) On July 21, 2010, Zuckerberg reported that Facebook had reached the 500-million-user mark.[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-38)
In 2010, [Steven Levy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Levy "Steven Levy"), who wrote the 1984 book *[Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackers:_Heroes_of_the_Computer_Revolution "Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution")*, wrote that Zuckerberg "clearly thinks of himself as a [hacker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_culture "Hacker culture")". Zuckerberg said that "it's OK to break things" "to make them better".[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-wired041910-39)[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-fast092410-40) Facebook instituted "[hackathons](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackathon "Hackathon")" held every six to eight weeks where participants would have one night to conceive of and complete a project.[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-wired041910-39) The company provided music, food, and beer at the hackathons, and many Facebook staff members, including Zuckerberg, regularly attended.[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-fast092410-40) "The idea is that you can build something really good in a night", Zuckerberg told Levy. "And that's part of the personality of Facebook now ... It's definitely very core to my personality."[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-wired041910-39)
In 2007, Zuckerberg was added to [MIT Technology Review](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_Technology_Review "MIT Technology Review")'s [TR35](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TR35 "TR35") list as one of the top 35 innovators in the world under the age of 35.[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-41) *[Vanity Fair](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanity_Fair_\(magazine\) "Vanity Fair (magazine)")* magazine named Zuckerberg number 1 on its 2010 list of the Top 100 "most influential people of the [Information Age](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_Age "Information Age")".[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-42) Zuckerberg ranked number 23 on the *Vanity Fair* 100 list in 2009.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-43) In 2010, Zuckerberg was chosen as number 16 in *[New Statesman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Statesman "New Statesman")*'s annual survey of the world's 50 most influential figures.[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-htanna-44)

Zuckerberg and Russian Prime Minister [Dmitry Medvedev](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitry_Medvedev "Dmitry Medvedev") during their meeting at the Russian leader's residence outside Moscow, October 1, 2012
On October 1, 2012, Zuckerberg met with then-Russian Prime Minister [Dmitry Medvedev](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitry_Medvedev "Dmitry Medvedev") in Moscow to stimulate social media innovation in Russia and to boost Facebook's position in the Russian market.[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-45)[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-46) Russia's communications minister tweeted that Medvedev persuaded Zuckerberg to open a research center in Moscow instead of trying to lure away Russian programmers. In 2012, Facebook had roughly 9 million users in Russia, while domestic clone [VK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VK_\(social_networking\) "VK (social networking)") had around 34 million.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-47)[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-48)
On August 19, 2013, *[The Washington Post](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Post "The Washington Post")* reported that Zuckerberg's Facebook profile was hacked by an unemployed web developer.[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-49)
At the 2013 [TechCrunch Disrupt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TechCrunch_Disrupt "TechCrunch Disrupt") conference, held in September, Zuckerberg stated that he was working towards registering the 5 billion people who were not connected to the Internet as of the conference on Facebook. Zuckerberg then explained that this was intertwined with the aim of the [Internet.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet.org "Internet.org") project, whereby Facebook, with the support of other technology companies, sought to increase the number of people connected to the internet.[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-Six-50)[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-Sew-51)
Zuckerberg was the keynote speaker at the 2014 [Mobile World Congress](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_World_Congress "Mobile World Congress") (MWC), held in [Barcelona](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcelona "Barcelona"), Spain, in March 2014, which was attended by 75,000 delegates. Various media sources highlighted the connection between Facebook's focus on mobile technology and Zuckerberg's speech, stating that mobile represented the future of the company.[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-52)
Alongside other American technology figures such as Jeff Bezos and [Tim Cook](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Cook "Tim Cook"), Zuckerberg hosted visiting Chinese politician [Lu Wei](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lu_Wei_\(politician\) "Lu Wei (politician)"), known as the "Internet czar" for his influence in the enforcement of China's online policy, at Facebook's headquarters on December 8, 2014. The meeting occurred after Zuckerberg participated in a Q\&A session at [Tsinghua University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsinghua_University "Tsinghua University") in Beijing, China, on October 23, 2014, where he conversed in [Mandarin Chinese](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Chinese "Standard Chinese").[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-53)

Zuckerberg at the [World Economic Forum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Economic_Forum "World Economic Forum") in [Davos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davos "Davos"), Switzerland (January 2009)
A month after Zuckerberg launched Facebook in February 2004, [i2hub](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I2hub "I2hub"), another campus-only service, created by [Wayne Chang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Chang "Wayne Chang") and focusing on [peer-to-peer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer "Peer-to-peer") file sharing, was launched. At the time, both i2hub and Facebook were gaining the attention of the press and growing rapidly in users and publicity. In August 2004, Zuckerberg, Andrew McCollum, [Adam D'Angelo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_D%27Angelo "Adam D'Angelo"), and [Sean Parker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Parker "Sean Parker") launched a competing peer-to-peer file sharing service called [Wirehog](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirehog "Wirehog"), a precursor to [Facebook Platform](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_Platform "Facebook Platform") applications, which was launched in 2007.[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-61)[\[61\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-62)[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-63)
In 2013, Zuckerberg launched [Internet.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet.org "Internet.org"), which he described as an initiative to provide Internet access to the five billion people without it as of the launch date. The project faced significant opposition in India, where activists said its limited internet ran counter to the principle of [net neutrality](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality "Net neutrality"); Zuckerberg responded by saying that a limited internet was better than no internet. Internet.org was shut down in India in February 2016.[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-64)[\[64\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-65)
Zuckerberg is a board member of the [solar sail](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_sail "Solar sail") spacecraft development project [Breakthrough Starshot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakthrough_Starshot "Breakthrough Starshot"), which he co-founded with [Yuri Milner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Milner "Yuri Milner") and [Stephen Hawking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Hawking "Stephen Hawking") in 2016.[\[65\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-66)

Lawsuits
ConnectU lawsuits
Harvard students [Cameron Winklevoss](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Winklevoss "Cameron Winklevoss"), [Tyler Winklevoss](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyler_Winklevoss "Tyler Winklevoss"), and [Divya Narendra](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divya_Narendra "Divya Narendra") accused Zuckerberg of intentionally making them believe he would help them build a social network called HarvardConnection.com (later called [ConnectU](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ConnectU "ConnectU")).[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-zuckerberghacked2-24) They filed a lawsuit in 2004; it was dismissed on a technicality on March 28, 2007. It was refiled soon thereafter in a [federal court](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_District_Court_for_the_District_of_Massachusetts "United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts") in [Boston](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston "Boston"). Facebook countersued in regards to Social Butterfly, a project put out by [The Winklevoss Chang Group](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Winklevoss_Chang_Group "The Winklevoss Chang Group"), an alleged partnership between ConnectU and [i2hub](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I2hub "I2hub"). On June 25, 2008, the case settled and Facebook agreed to transfer over 1.2 million common shares and pay \$20 million in cash (equivalent to \$30,013,960 in 2025).[\[67\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-68)
In November 2007, court documents were posted on the website of *[02138](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/02138 "02138")*, a magazine that catered to Harvard alumni. They included Zuckerberg's Social Security number, his parents' home address, and his girlfriend's address. Although Facebook filed to have the documents removed, the judge ruled in favor of *02138*.[\[68\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-autogenerated1-69)
Eduardo Saverin
In 2005, Facebook co-founder [Eduardo Saverin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eduardo_Saverin "Eduardo Saverin") filed a lawsuit against Zuckerberg and Facebook, alleging that Zuckerberg had illegally spent Saverin's money on personal expenses. The lawsuit was settled out of court and, although terms of the settlement were sealed, the company affirmed Saverin's title as co-founder of Facebook, and Saverin agreed to stop talking to the press.[\[69\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-70)[\[70\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-71)
Pakistan criminal investigation
In June 2010, then-Pakistani Deputy Attorney General Muhammad Azhar Sidiqque launched a criminal investigation into Zuckerberg and Facebook co-founders [Dustin Moskovitz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dustin_Moskovitz "Dustin Moskovitz") and [Chris Hughes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Hughes "Chris Hughes") after a "[Draw Muhammad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everybody_Draw_Mohammed_Day "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day")" contest was hosted on Facebook. The investigation also named the anonymous German woman who created the contest. Sidiqque asked the country's police to contact [Interpol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpol "Interpol") to have Zuckerberg and the three others arrested for [blasphemy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blasphemy_law "Blasphemy law"). On May 19, 2010, Facebook's website was temporarily blocked in Pakistan until Facebook removed the contest from its website at the end of May. Sidiqque also asked its UN representative to raise the issue with the [United Nations General Assembly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly "United Nations General Assembly").[\[71\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-72)[\[72\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-73)
Paul Ceglia
In June 2010, Paul Ceglia, the owner of a wood [pellet fuel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pellet_fuel "Pellet fuel") company in [Allegany County, upstate New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegany_County,_New_York "Allegany County, New York"), filed a suit against Zuckerberg, claiming 84 percent ownership of Facebook and seeking monetary damages. According to Ceglia, he and Zuckerberg signed a contract on April 28, 2003, that an initial fee of \$1,000 (equivalent to \$1,750 in 2025) entitled Ceglia to 50% of the website's revenue, as well as an additional 1% interest in the business per day after January 1, 2004, until website completion. Zuckerberg was developing other projects at the time, among which was *Facemash*, the predecessor to Facebook, but did not register the domain name *thefacebook.com* until January 1, 2004. The Facebook management dismissed the lawsuit as "completely frivolous". Facebook spokesman Barry Schnitt told a reporter that Ceglia's counsel had unsuccessfully sought an out-of-court settlement.[\[73\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-74)[\[74\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-75)
On October 26, 2012, federal authorities arrested Ceglia, charging him with mail and wire fraud and of "tampering with, destroying and fabricating evidence in a scheme to defraud the Facebook founder of billions of dollars". Ceglia is accused of fabricating emails to make it appear that he and Zuckerberg discussed details about an early version of Facebook, although after examining their emails, investigators found there was no mention of Facebook in them.[\[75\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-76) Some law firms withdrew from the case before it was initiated and others after Ceglia's arrest.[\[76\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-77)[\[77\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-78)
Hawaiian land ownership
In 2014, Zuckerberg purchased 700 acres of land on the Hawaiian island of [KauaĘťi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kauai "Kauai"). In January 2017, Zuckerberg filed eight "[quiet title](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiet_title "Quiet title") and [partition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_\(law\) "Partition (law)")" lawsuits against hundreds of [native Hawaiians](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Hawaiians "Native Hawaiians") to claim small tracts of land that they owned within his acreage.[\[78\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-:0-79) Zuckerberg responded to criticisms in a [Facebook](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook "Facebook") post, stating that the lawsuits were a good faith effort to pay the partial owners of the land their "fair share".[\[78\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-:0-79) When he learned that Hawaiian [land ownership law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property_law "Property law") differs from that of the other 49 states, he dropped the lawsuits. Zuckerberg stated that he regretted not taking the time to understand the process and its history before moving ahead.[\[79\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-80)[\[80\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-81) Eventually, an auction helped sell the pockets of land.[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-o200-82)[\[82\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-s048-83)
Zuckerberg paid \$17 million (equivalent to \$20,198,330 in 2025) to add 110 acres to his contentious 1,500-acre estate in [Kauai](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kauai "Kauai"), in December 2021.[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-o200-82)
At least \$145 million was spent by Zuckerberg on land in Kauai that he is developing into a massive 1,450-acre retreat that is partially gated off. In a January Instagram post, he uploaded a picture of a massive steak and joked that "of all my projects, this is the most delicious," indicating that he is rearing beer-fed Wagyu and Angus cattle on the property, involving his daughters in the process.[\[83\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-84)
Testimonies before U.S. Congress
On April 10 and 11, 2018, Zuckerberg testified before the [United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_Committee_on_Commerce,_Science,_and_Transportation "United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation") regarding the usage of personal data by Facebook in relation to the [FacebookâCambridge Analytica data scandal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook%E2%80%93Cambridge_Analytica_data_scandal "FacebookâCambridge Analytica data scandal").[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-85)[\[85\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-:1-86) He called the whole affair a breach of trust between [Aleksandr Kogan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Kogan_\(scientist\) "Aleksandr Kogan (scientist)"), [Cambridge Analytica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_Analytica "Cambridge Analytica"), and Facebook.[\[86\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-87) Zuckerberg refused requests to appear to give evidence on the matter to a [Parliamentary](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliament_of_the_United_Kingdom "Parliament of the United Kingdom") committee in the United Kingdom.[\[87\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-88)

The subpoenas aimed to force the CEOs to testify about the legal immunity the law affords tech platforms under [Section 230 of the Communications Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_230 "Section 230") of 1934. US [Republicans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Party_\(United_States\) "Republican Party (United States)") argued that the law unduly protected social media companies against allegations of anti-conservative censorship.[\[88\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-89)
On March 25, 2021, Zuckerberg testified before the House Energy and Commerce Committee regarding Facebook's role in the spread of misinformation and hate speech on the platform. During the hearing, he was questioned about Facebook's handling of user data, its role in the [January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol Building](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_storming_of_the_United_States_Capitol "2021 storming of the United States Capitol"), and its efforts to combat misinformation and hate speech. Zuckerberg acknowledged that Facebook had a responsibility to address these issues and outlined the steps that the company is taking to improve its policies and practices. The hearing was part of a broader effort by Congress to hold tech companies accountable for their role in shaping public discourse and protecting user privacy.[\[89\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-90)
In a January 2024 [Senate Judiciary Committee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_Committee_on_the_Judiciary "United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary") hearing on child safety and social media platforms, Zuckerberg, along with other tech CEOs, were questioned about their companies' practices. During the hearing, he stood up, turned toward the audience, and apologized to the families of children who were victims of online abuse and harm.[\[90\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-91)[\[91\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-92)
Opposition to Meta proposals for teenagers' mental health
Court documents allege that Zuckerberg personally rejected Meta's proposals to improve teenagers' mental health. He consistently opposed efforts to enhance well-being on Facebook and Instagram, overriding senior executives such as Instagram head [Adam Mosseri](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Mosseri "Adam Mosseri") and Global Affairs President [Nick Clegg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Clegg "Nick Clegg"), as revealed in an ongoing lawsuit. Internal communications disclosed in the Massachusetts-initiated legal action depict Zuckerberg's resistance to better protect over 30 million teens on Instagram in the U.S., highlighting his substantial influence on Meta's decisions impacting billions of users. These documents also shed light on occasional tensions between Zuckerberg and other Meta officials advocating for improved user well-being.[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-93)
New Mexico lawsuit on Meta's lack of restriction on AI bots
The lawsuit alleges that Meta "failed to stem the tide of damaging sexual material and sexual propositions delivered to children" on Facebook and Instagram. Evidence showed that Mark Zuckerberg approved allowing minors to access AI chatbot companions that safety staffers warned were capable of sexual interactions.[\[93\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-94)

[Jesse Eisenberg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Eisenberg "Jesse Eisenberg") (pictured) played Zuckerberg in *[The Social Network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Social_Network "The Social Network")*.
A movie based on Zuckerberg and the founding years of Facebook, *[The Social Network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Social_Network "The Social Network")*, was released on October 1, 2010, starring [Jesse Eisenberg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Eisenberg "Jesse Eisenberg") as Zuckerberg. After Zuckerberg was told about the film, he responded, "I just wished that nobody made a movie of me while I was still alive."[\[94\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-95) Also, after the film's script was leaked on the Internet and it was apparent that the film would not portray Zuckerberg in a wholly positive light, he stated that he wanted to establish himself as a "good guy".[\[95\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-96) The film is based on the book *[The Accidental Billionaires](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Accidental_Billionaires "The Accidental Billionaires")* by [Ben Mezrich](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Mezrich "Ben Mezrich"), which the book's publicist once described as "big juicy fun" rather than "reportage".[\[96\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-97) The film's screenwriter [Aaron Sorkin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Sorkin "Aaron Sorkin") told [*New York* magazine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_\(magazine\) "New York (magazine)"), "I don't want my fidelity to be the truth; I want it to be storytelling", adding, "What is the big deal about accuracy purely for accuracy's sake, and can we not have the true be the enemy of the good?".[\[97\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-98)

In January 2011, Zuckerberg made a surprise guest appearance on *[Saturday Night Live](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_Night_Live "Saturday Night Live")*, which was hosted by Jesse Eisenberg. They both said it was the first time they had met.[\[100\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-101) Eisenberg asked Zuckerberg, who had been critical of his portrayal by the film, what he thought of the movie. Zuckerberg replied, "It was interesting."[\[101\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-102) In a subsequent interview about their meeting, Eisenberg explained that he was "nervous to meet him, because I had spent now, a year and a half thinking about him ...". He added, "Mark has been so gracious about something that's really so uncomfortable ... The fact that he would do *SNL* and make fun of the situation is so sweet and so generous. It's the best possible way to handle something that, I think, could otherwise be very uncomfortable."[\[102\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-103)[\[103\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-104)
Disputed accuracy
According to [David Kirkpatrick](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Kirkpatrick_\(author\) "David Kirkpatrick (author)"), former technology editor at *[Fortune](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_\(magazine\) "Fortune (magazine)")* magazine and author of *[The Facebook Effect: The Inside Story of the Company That Is Connecting the World](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Facebook_Effect "The Facebook Effect")* (2011),[\[104\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-105) "the film is only 40% true ... he is not snide and sarcastic in a cruel way, the way Zuckerberg is played in the movie." He says that "a lot of the factual incidents are accurate, but many are distorted, and the overall impression is false" and concludes that primarily "his motivations were to try and come up with a new way to share information on the Internet".[\[105\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-BBCmovie-106)
Although the film portrayed Zuckerberg's creation of Facebook in order to elevate his stature after not getting into any of the elite [final clubs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Officially_unrecognized_Harvard_College_social_clubs "Officially unrecognized Harvard College social clubs") at Harvard, Zuckerberg stated that he had no interest in joining the clubs.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-NEWYORKER2010-8) Kirkpatrick agreed that the impression implied by the film is "false". Karel Baloun, a former senior engineer at Facebook, noted that the "image of Zuckerberg as a socially inept nerd is overstated ... It is fiction ...". He likewise dismissed the film's assertion that he "would deliberately betray a friend".[\[105\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-BBCmovie-106)

Zuckerberg voiced himself on an episode of *[The Simpsons](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Simpsons "The Simpsons")* titled "[Loan-a Lisa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loan-a_Lisa "Loan-a Lisa")", which first aired on October 3, 2010. In the episode, [Lisa Simpson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Simpson "Lisa Simpson") and her friend Nelson encounter Zuckerberg at an entrepreneurs' convention. Zuckerberg tells Lisa that she does not need to graduate from college to be wildly successful, referencing [Bill Gates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates "Bill Gates") and [Richard Branson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Branson "Richard Branson") as examples.[\[106\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-107) On October 9, 2010, *[Saturday Night Live](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_Night_Live "Saturday Night Live")* lampooned Zuckerberg and Facebook.[\[107\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-108) [Andy Samberg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Samberg "Andy Samberg") portrayed the role of Zuckerberg.

Donations and Chan Zuckerberg Initiative

Zuckerberg and his wife [Priscilla Chan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priscilla_Chan "Priscilla Chan") in May 2013
Zuckerberg founded the [Startup:Education](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Startup:Education "Startup:Education") foundation.[\[114\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-115) It was reported in September 2010 that he had donated \$100 million (equivalent to \$147,642,301 in 2025) to [Newark Public Schools](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newark_Public_Schools "Newark Public Schools"), the public school system of [Newark, New Jersey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newark,_New_Jersey "Newark, New Jersey").[\[115\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-116)[\[116\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-117) Critics noted the timing of the donation as being close to the release of *The Social Network*, which painted a somewhat negative portrait of Zuckerberg.[\[117\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-118) Zuckerberg responded to the criticism, saying, "The thing that I was most sensitive about with the movie timing was, I didn't want the press about *The Social Network* movie to get conflated with the Newark project. I was thinking about doing this anonymously just so that the two things could be kept separate."[\[118\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-forbes20100924-119) Newark Mayor [Cory Booker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cory_Booker "Cory Booker") stated that he and New Jersey Governor [Chris Christie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Christie "Chris Christie") had to convince Zuckerberg's team not to make the donation anonymously.[\[118\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-forbes20100924-119) The money was largely wasted, according to journalist Dale Russakoff.[\[119\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-120)[\[120\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-121)

Later that month, the donation was recognized as the largest charitable gift on public record for that year.[\[124\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-125) *[The Chronicle of Philanthropy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chronicle_of_Philanthropy "The Chronicle of Philanthropy")* placed Zuckerberg and his wife at the top of the magazine's annual list of 50 most generous Americans for 2013, having donated roughly \$1 billion to charity (equivalent to \$1,382,142,857 in 2025).[\[125\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-usa-today-biggest-giver-126)

The hospital honored them by renaming itself as The Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center. Later in 2020, the [San Francisco Board of Supervisors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Board_of_Supervisors "San Francisco Board of Supervisors") passed a near-unanimous, non-binding measure condemning the renaming, citing concerns that a public hospital should not be named after an individual whose social media platform is accused of "endangering public health, spreading misinformation, and violating privacy".[\[128\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-129) On December 1, 2015, the couple pledged to transfer 99% of their Facebook shares, then valued at \$45 billion (equivalent to \$61,122,420,329 in 2025), to the [Chan Zuckerberg Initiative](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chan_Zuckerberg_Initiative "Chan Zuckerberg Initiative") (CZI).[\[129\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-130) The funds would not be transferred immediately, but over the course of their lives.[\[130\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-BBC_News_1_December_2015-131) Instead of forming a charitable corporation to donate the value of the stock to, as [Bill Gates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates "Bill Gates"), [Warren Buffett](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Buffett "Warren Buffett"), [Larry Page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Page "Larry Page"), [Sergey Brin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Brin "Sergey Brin") and other billionaires have done, Zuckerberg and Chan chose to use the structure of a [limited liability company (LLC)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_liability_company "Limited liability company").

A media report on June 20, 2013, revealed that Zuckerberg actively engaged with Facebook users on his own profile page after the online publication of a FWD.us video. In response to a claim that the FWD.us organization is "just about tech wanting to hire more people", the Internet entrepreneur replied, "The bigger problem we're trying to address is ensuring the 11 million undocumented folks living in this country now and similar folks in the future are treated fairly."[\[154\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-155)
In June 2013, Zuckerberg joined Facebook employees in a company float as part of the annual [San Francisco Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Celebration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Pride "San Francisco Pride"). The company first participated in the event in 2011, with 70 employees, and this number increased to 700 for the 2013 march. The 2013 pride celebration was especially significant, as it followed a [U.S. Supreme Court](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States "Supreme Court of the United States") ruling that deemed the [Defense of Marriage Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_of_Marriage_Act "Defense of Marriage Act") (DOMA) unconstitutional.[\[155\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-156)[\[156\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-157)
When questioned about the mid-2013 [PRISM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_\(surveillance_program\) "PRISM (surveillance program)") scandal at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in September 2013, Zuckerberg stated that the U.S. government "blew it". He further explained that the government performed poorly in regard to the protection of the freedoms of its citizens, the economy, and companies.[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-Six-50)

With then-Argentine President [Cristina FernĂĄndez de Kirchner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristina_Fern%C3%A1ndez_de_Kirchner "Cristina FernĂĄndez de Kirchner") in April 2015
Zuckerberg placed a statement on his Facebook wall on December 9, 2015, which said that he wants "to add my voice in support of Muslims in our community and around the world" in response to the [aftermath](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_presidential_campaign,_2016#Policies_targeting_Muslims "Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016") of the [November 2015 Paris attacks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_2015_Paris_attacks "November 2015 Paris attacks") and the [2015 San Bernardino attack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_San_Bernardino_attack "2015 San Bernardino attack").[\[157\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-protect-158)[\[158\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-fbpost2015-159)[\[159\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-gd1215-160)[\[160\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-yt1215-161) The statement also said that Muslims are "always welcome" on Facebook, and that his position was a result of the fact that, "[as a Jew](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_culture "Jewish culture"), my parents taught me that we must stand up against attacks on all communities."[\[161\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-haar1215-162)[\[162\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-ind1215-163)
On February 24, 2016, Zuckerberg sent out a company-wide internal memo to employees formally rebuking employees who had crossed out handwritten "[Black Lives Matter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Lives_Matter "Black Lives Matter")" phrases on the company walls and had written "All Lives Matter" in their place. Facebook allows employees to free-write thoughts and phrases on company walls. The memo was then leaked by several employees. As Zuckerberg had previously condemned this practice at previous company meetings, and other similar requests had been issued by other leaders at Facebook, Zuckerberg wrote in the memo that he would now consider this overwriting practice not only disrespectful, but "malicious as well". According to Zuckerberg's memo, "*Black Lives Matter* doesn't mean other lives don't â it's simply asking that the black community also achieves the justice they deserve." The memo also noted that the act of crossing something out in itself "means silencing speech, or that one person's speech is more important than another's". Zuckerberg also said in the memo that he would be launching investigations into the incidents.[\[163\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-shaunking-zuckerberg-164)[\[164\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-guynn-165)[\[165\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-benjaminsnyder-166) The *[New York Daily News](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Daily_News "New York Daily News")* interviewed Facebook employees who commented anonymously that, "Zuckerberg was genuinely angry about the incident and it really encouraged staff that Zuckerberg showed a clear understanding of why the phrase 'Black Lives Matter' must exist, as well as why writing through it is a form of harassment and erasure."[\[163\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-shaunking-zuckerberg-164)
In January 2017, Zuckerberg criticized [Donald Trump](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump "Donald Trump")'s [executive order](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_travel_ban "Trump travel ban") to harshly limit immigrants and refugees from some countries.[\[166\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-167) He also funded a state-level ballot initiative for the [2020 general election](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_elections "2020 United States elections") that would raise taxes by altering California's [Proposition 13](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split_roll "Split roll") to require the tax assessment of commercial and industrial properties in the state at market rate.[\[167\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-168)
Especially in his twenties, Zuckerberg had financially supported various progressive causes such as immigration reform and social justice. At least among Republicans, he was generally seen as pro-[liberal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_liberalism_in_the_United_States "Modern liberalism in the United States"). In an August 2024 letter to the [House Judiciary Committee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_Judiciary_Committee "House Judiciary Committee") however, Zuckerberg stated he regretted not doing more to resist pressure from the Biden administration to censor content related to [COVID-19](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19 "COVID-19"). He also noted he no longer intends to donate towards election infrastructure; Republicans had seen those contributions as non-neutral, labeling them "Zuckerbucks". By 2024, Zuckerberg was discouraging employee activism at Facebook, and according to *[The New York Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times "The New York Times")*, had privately described his politics as leaning towards [libertarianism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarianism "Libertarianism") or [classical liberalism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_liberalism "Classical liberalism").[\[168\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-169)[\[169\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-170)[\[170\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-171)[\[171\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-172)

With then-President [Donald Trump](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump "Donald Trump") at the White House in September 2019
In Donald Trump's book [*Save America*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Save_America_\(book\) "Save America (book)"), published in September 2024, Trump described Zuckerberg's visits to the White House and wrote, "We are watching him closely, and if he does anything illegal this time he will spend the rest of his life in prison â as will others who cheat in the [2024 Presidential Election](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election "2024 United States presidential election")."[\[172\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-173) Two months later, they dined at the [Mar-a-Lago](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar-a-Lago "Mar-a-Lago") resort, with Zuckerberg reportedly aiming to mend his and his firm's relationship with Trump after the latter won the election.[\[173\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-174) Around the same time, Meta reportedly donated \$1 million to a Trump-related fund.[\[174\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-175) In January 2025, he said: "We now have a U.S. administration that is proud of our leading companies, prioritizes American technology winning and that will defend our values and interests abroad."[\[175\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-176) Zuckerberg was one of a handful of technology leaders positioned prominently at Trump's inauguration. In March 2025, Zuckerberg mentioned his relationship with the Trump administration while seeking a favorable settlement in, [FTC v. Meta](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTC_v._Meta "FTC v. Meta"), an [antitrust case](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antitrust_case "Antitrust case") where the [Federal Trade Commission](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Trade_Commission "Federal Trade Commission") (FTC) was asking for \$30 billion.[\[176\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-177)[\[177\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-178)
Zuckerberg has expressed opposition to EU regulations[\[178\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-179) of his company saying "we're going to work with President Trump to push back on governments around the world that're going after American companies."[\[179\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-180)[\[180\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-181)

Zuckerberg met fellow student [Priscilla Chan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priscilla_Chan "Priscilla Chan") at a frat party during his second year at Harvard. They began dating in 2003.[\[181\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-forbes1-182) In September 2010, Chan, who was a medical student at the [University of California, San Francisco](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_California,_San_Francisco "University of California, San Francisco") at the time,[\[182\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-183) moved into his rented house in [Palo Alto, California](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palo_Alto,_California "Palo Alto, California").[\[183\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-184)[\[184\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-185) They married on May 19, 2012, in the grounds of his mansion in an event that also celebrated her graduation from medical school.[\[185\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-186)[\[186\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-187) Zuckerberg revealed in July 2015 that they were expecting a baby girl and that Chan had previously experienced three miscarriages.[\[187\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-188) Their first daughter was born in December 2015.[\[188\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-189) They announced in a [Chinese New Year](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_New_Year "Chinese New Year") video that their daughter's Chinese name is Chen Mingyu ([Chinese](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_language "Chinese language"): éćĺŽ).[\[189\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-190) Their second daughter was born in August 2017.[\[190\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-191) Zuckerberg and his wife welcomed their third daughter in March 2023 and announced the news across his social media pages.[\[191\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-192) The couple also have a [Puli dog](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puli_dog "Puli dog") named Beast,[\[192\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-193) who had over two million followers on Facebook as of 2019.[\[193\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-194) Zuckerberg commissioned the visual artist [Daniel Arsham](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Arsham "Daniel Arsham") to build a 7-foot-tall sculpture of his wife, which was unveiled in 2024.[\[194\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-195)

Recognition and public image
[*Time*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_\(magazine\) "Time (magazine)") named Zuckerberg [one of the most influential people in the world](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_100 "Time 100") in 2008, 2011, 2016, 2019 and 2025, and nominated him as a finalist several other times. He was named the [*Time* Person of the Year](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Person_of_the_Year "Time Person of the Year") in 2010, the same year when Facebook eclipsed more than half a billion users.[\[197\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-198) He was also included in the *Time* 100 AI list in 2024.[\[198\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-199) In December 2016, Zuckerberg was ranked tenth on the [*Forbes* list of the World's Most Powerful People](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbes_list_of_the_World%27s_Most_Powerful_People "Forbes list of the World's Most Powerful People").[\[199\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-200) In the [*Forbes* 400](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbes_400 "Forbes 400") list of wealthiest Americans in 2023, he was ranked eighth with a personal wealth of \$106 billion (equivalent to \$112,008,519,004 in 2025).[\[200\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-201) In October 2024, he became the second richest person in the world.[\[201\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-202)[\[202\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-203) As of October 2025, Zuckerberg's net worth was estimated at \$251 billion by *[Forbes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbes "Forbes")*, making him the third richest person in the world.[\[203\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-204) In addition to his estate in Hawaii, Zuckerberg has a \$320 million (equivalent to \$380,203,856 in 2025) real estate portfolio that includes ten homes in Palo Alto, San Francisco, and Lake Tahoe, totaling over 1,400 acres.[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-o200-82)

Yacht fleet
In 2017, Zuckerberg called for action to stop [global warming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming "Global warming") in a commencement speech at [Harvard University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_University "Harvard University").[\[211\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-:2-212) Seven years later, he purchased the mega-yacht *Launchpad* (formerly *Project 1010*) for about \$300 million; the vessel is approximately 118â119 m (387 ft) and was delivered by Feadship in 2024.[\[212\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-213)[\[213\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-214)[\[214\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-215)
Zuckerberg also operates a smaller support/shadow yacht, *Wingman*, built by Damen Yachting in 2014 (approx. 67 m/220 ft), which functions as a tender and logistics platform for *Launchpad*; media have placed its value around \$30 million.[\[215\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-216)[\[216\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-217) In early 2025, multiple outlets reported the two-vessel fleet operating together, including in the Arctic. *Launchpad* was tracked at [Longyearbyen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longyearbyen "Longyearbyen") (Svalbard), where local activists staged protests over emissions.[\[217\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-218)[\[218\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-219)[\[219\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-220)
During the Easter period of 2025, Sustainability Times described a roughly 5,280-mile voyage to Norway's fjords using the two-yacht fleet for a heliskiing trip. The article asserted by using *Wingman'*s helipad offshore, operations avoided helicopter landings on Norwegian soil, which are generally restricted for tourism.[\[220\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-221)[\[221\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-222) Earlier, in late 2024 and early 2025, lifestyle media reported that *Launchpad* sailed roughly 4,800 miles to French Polynesia and waited in Tahiti for weeks without Zuckerberg boarding.[\[222\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-223)[\[223\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-224)
Religious beliefs and other interests
Born and raised in a Reform Jewish household, Zuckerberg later identified himself as an atheist. However, he said in 2016 that, "I went through a period where I questioned things, but now I believe religion is very important."[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-Kirkpatrick-10)[\[224\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-225)[\[225\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-226) During 2017, he and his wife began a tour of America "to visit every state in the union and learn more about a sliver of the nearly two billion people who regularly use the social network". He met with farmers and business owners, and spoke at the [Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emanuel_African_Methodist_Episcopal_Church "Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church"), where [a 2015 shooting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charleston_church_shooting "Charleston church shooting") took place.[\[226\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-227)[\[227\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-228)
In 2022, Zuckerberg took up training in both [mixed martial arts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_martial_arts "Mixed martial arts") (MMA) and [Brazilian jiu-jitsu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_jiu-jitsu "Brazilian jiu-jitsu") (BJJ), and has been open about his love for the two sports.[\[228\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-229) He competed in a BJJ tournament on May 6, 2023, and won both a silver and gold medal in [gi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BJJ_gi "BJJ gi") and no gi, competing at white belt.[\[229\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-230) In July 2023, he was promoted to [blue belt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BJJ_belt "BJJ belt") in Brazilian jiu-jitsu by Dave Camarillo.[\[230\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-231) Four months later, Zuckerberg announced that he was preparing to make his MMA debut but had suffered an [anterior cruciate ligament injury](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_cruciate_ligament_injury "Anterior cruciate ligament injury") in training that required surgery and had delayed this.[\[231\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#cite_note-232)
