We can’t thank Mark Zuckerberg enough for the social media platform that he has given us; Facebook has indeed changed the definition of communication totally and has added a lot of entertainment to our lives. Apart from being the CEO of Facebook, Zuckerberg is known for many other things too. Last year, he enjoyed the 6th rank in the Forbes richest people list, with a net worth of 44.6 Billion USD. We appreciate Zuckerberg for achieving too many things at such a young age; he’s truly an inspiration.
He’s such an interesting personality that you all would love to know some more facts about him, right? Here are 10 of them which you probably didn’t know.
1) Ever thought why Zuckerberg chose the “Blue” theme for Facebook? It’s because he suffers from color blindness and can’t see red-green colors properly. For him, blue was the best choice.
2) Zuckerberg is a GENIUS! He knows to read and write multiple languages and some of them include ancient Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Mandarin and French.
3) We all are under the impression that since Zuckerberg is the CEO of Facebook, his salary would be HUGE. You are wrong; he takes just $1 as annual salary!
4) Programming requires a lot of intelligence; don’t be surprised but Zuckerberg was actually an expert in programming languages right from the age of 13. Yes, he created an instant messaging program “Zucknet” for his family, which facilitated exchanging of messages on those computers just by pinging.
5) Mark Zuckerberg has created special features for his Facebook profile. No one can block him. Try doing it by visiting his official profile and you’ll surely fail.
6) Do you know where Zuckerberg met his wife Priscilla Chan for the first time? Well, it was in the queue of a toilet.
7) Mark Zuckerberg has hired not one or two but twelve people to look after his Facebook postings. Everything right from status, to photos and messages are handled by them.
8) Even big companies like Microsoft and AOL recognized his intelligence; when he was in school, he got good offers from these biggies, but he flatly refused.
9) In reality, Facebook was “Thefacebook.com” when he started it in 2004 and was meant only for university graduates; however, in 2006, things changed and now we have our favorite social media platform.
10) He’s too focused with everything and this is probably the reason why he doesn’t own a television.
Aren’t you surprised to know these secrets? Do you know any other fact about him?
