Mark Zuckerberg

Net Worth: $102.5 Billion
Company: Facebook, Inc.
Country: USA
During his middle-school days, Mark Zuckerberg already showed a passion for software and technology. To support this talent, his father eventually hired software developer David Newman to tutor Mark – a decision that undoubtedly paid off. Not long after, Mark began making games based on his friends’ drawings and even a program that allowed his home computer to communicate with the one at his father’s dental office and vice-versa. Today, everyone gives him credit for creating one of the most widely-used social media platforms globally, Facebook.

Although Mark originally made it to help him and his schoolmates select college campuses, Facebook has since become the go-to platform for people from all corners of the world to communicate with each other. Mark has also ventured to other projects over the years, one of which is the co-founding of Breakthrough Starshot, a solar sail spacecraft project. Perhaps someday, we can finally send friend requests to extraterrestrial beings.
