About Mark Zuckerberg
Mark Zuckerberg is an internet entrepreneur and businessmen for co-founding Facebook with an estimated net worth of $130.8 Billion. In the early years of the Facebook creation, Mark Zuckerberg doubt with many lawsuits and settlements, it was until those years when Mark Zuckerberg turned down Yahoo for $1-Billion. News made headlines and Mark Zuckerberg was considered by far the most notorious person in the world for turning down a billion. In the later years after becoming successful as the entrepreneur continued with Facebook, the company went public. Shares for Facebook were priced at $38 a share when its first initial public offering was placed, a move that valued the Internet company at more than $100 billion at the time. In nearly a couple of years time, Facebook’s shares doubled to twice as much as what it was worth and in July of 2014 Zuckerberg’s stock flew up to $1.6 Billion in one day. Today Facebook’s shares are worth around $70.00 each with a market capitalization worth over $200,000,000,000 Billion. Their are co-founders and major investors that share the vast wealth of Facebook’s $200,000,000,000 Billion dollar empire which can be staggered against Henry Ford’s singular Net Worth valued at $199,000,000,000 Billion. It is said that ‘Zuckerberg is just getting started,’ David Kirkpatrick, author of The Facebook Effect told Bloomberg.com. ‘He’s going to become the richest person on the planet.’ But can Zuckerberg as an individual do that? Can Zuckerberg ever pass what Henry Ford ever possessed? can he ever surpass Warren Buffett who owns and controls the most companies in the world in every different industry who’s worth almost twice as much as Zuckerberg? At one point Bill Gates came a little past 50% of Henry Ford’s Net Worth of $101 Billion in 1999. Gates went down in history for possessing one of the largest family fortunes in world history. However in 2014 Gates rose back up to $82.4 Billion. will Gates ever pass his record for the second time? Will new comer’s in the industry of business ever surpass Zuckerberg in the near future? These are the many things you have to factor in and if you really want to know Bill Gates has surpassed his record of what he reached in 1999. He’s definitely undervalued for what he’s actually worth, they all are but these are just opinions. As debatable as it seem’s Zuckerberg has a pretty good chance at surpassing 25% of the world’s wealth there’s a great chance.
