Where Facebook's First 10 Employees Are Now

Well, yeah. Everybody knows this guy. The king of social networks is a major celebrity, but a surprisingly private one, with a lot of personal details he keeps on the down-low. For example, his altruistic message of how Facebook "connects the world together" sounds nice, but it's a far cry from the 19-year-old Harvard student

Well, yeah. Everybody knows this guy. The king of social networks is a major celebrity, but a surprisingly private one, with a lot of personal details he keeps on the down-low. For example, his altruistic message of how Facebook "connects the world together" sounds nice, but it's a far cry from the 19-year-old Harvard student who bragged over instant messenger that over 4,000 "dumb f*cks" had sent him their private pictures, addresses, and emails.

Intentions aside, there's no question that Zuckerberg is a seriously gifted guy — a child prodigy who created programs resembling AIM and Pandora in his spare time (before either service existed!), until coming to Harvard, developing The Facebook, dropping out of school, and changing the world.

Facebook is Zuck, and Zuck is Facebook: Even the classic blue/white color scheme is based on his red-green colorblindness. His success is indisputable, but he's had a rough couple of years, having been forced to spend the entirety of 2018 apologizing as headlines about election interference, fake news, and user privacy concerns have kept on coming, with the Senate hearing in April being an especially low point in his company's history. Calls for government regulation have grown louder, to the point that CNET says even Zuckerberg himself has expressed openness to the idea. It's hard to say what's in store for Facebook, but it sure seems like Zuckerberg will be there for whatever happens.
