Mark is the creator of Facebook. He began working on the website in 2004 with his roommates. They established it as “Facebook,” and it quickly gained popularity. Regardless, there were some disputes along the way. Three Harvard seniors blamed Zuckerberg for stealing their opinions and sued him. Finally, they settled the case for a big sum of money and shares on Facebook.

Zuckerberg grew Facebook to other schools before dropping out of Harvard to concentrate on the task full-time. He moved to California and resisted offers from large companies to purchase Facebook because he wanted to make an open platform for individuals. Over time, Facebook grew quickly and got millions of users globally.

Other than Facebook, Zuckerberg also served on other tasks, such as Internet.org, which aimed to give internet access to more individuals worldwide. A movie was made about Mr. Zuckerberg and the birth of Facebook, called The Social Network.

Mr. Zuckerberg was close friends with Sean Parker, the co-founder of Napster, who also became a founding president of Facebook. There are 70 different languages available for users on Facebook. Mr. Zuckerberg suffers from red-green colour blindness and sees the color blue best, which is why blue dominates Facebook’s color scheme.
