Mark Elliot Zuckerberg (born May 14, 1984) is an American businessman, who co-founded Facebook when he was still studying computer science.[4] The founding of Facebook made Zuckerberg a billionaire, and one of the youngest and richest billionaires of all time according to Forbes.
Besides computer programming, Zuckerberg is also interested in foreign languages, especially Mandarin Chinese. His founding of Facebook was portrayed in the movie The Social Network starring actor Jesse Eisenberg in the leading role.
In 2010, he said that he was going to give most of his money to charity. That same year, he was also named Time's Person of the Year.
He was raised Jewish, became an atheist,[5] but thinks differently about religion nowadays. In a public Facebook post, Zuckerberg launched the Internet.org project in late August 2013.
He is married to Priscilla Chan.[6]
