Mark Zuckerberg is the co-founder of the social media platform, Facebook and has also backed the digital currency Libra which is now called Diem. Zuckerberg also acquired the social media platform, Instagram and Whatsapp messenger in 2014.

The American computer wizard founded Facebook along with his college roommates and fellow Harvard students Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes and has gone on to turn it into a money-spinner. Zuckerberg made his first million when he was 22 years old. Just one year later, Zuckerberg became the youngest self-made billionaire in history at the age of 23.

In August 2020, his net worth exceeded $100 billion following optimism about Facebook’s new video function Reels – a competitor to TikTok. At just 36, this made Zuckerberg the youngest person to reach centibillionaire status.
