What can a boy do at the young age of 19? The answer is, “A lot!” And something similar was seen by Mark Zuckerberg, as he made Facebook with his friends at a young age. Let us know in detail the life of Mark Zuckerberg, one of the youngest billionaires in the world today.

Mark Zuckerberg was born on 14 May 1984 in New York City, USA at a place called Dabbs Ferry. Mark Zuckerberg’s full name is Mark Elliot Zuckerberg, but people fondly call him Mark. Mark’s father’s name is Edward Zuckerberg and mother’s name is Karen Kemper.

Along with elementary education, Mark had also taken computer education from his father who taught him the Basic Program, due to which Mark started programming from school days. Mark’s father now felt that what he could not do himself, he would be able to do his son. When Mark was 10 years old, Mark’s father brought him a PC and taught him the basic program Atari. Now, after seeing his growing interest in Mark, his father got him a C ++ book, which he himself created many computer programs. Now the father put a private tutor named David Newman, who was a software developer, to further improve Mark’s talent.

In 1996, at the age of 12, Mark created a software called Inter Communication Program for his father’s hospital, which was named Juknet. In class 12, Mark, along with his friend Angelo, created Online Mp3 software for which Microsoft offered $ 9.5 million and talked about hiring but he declined the offer because of studies.

Mark joined Harward University in 2002 after passing 12th. Mark lived here with his partner kris hujes at the Hostel. While staying here, Mark came to know about the social networking site and had a desire to do something new in his mind. Mark created thefacebook.com, taking inspiration from social websites like Facemash and Coursemash, which he went live on 4 February 2004. 6000 users added from thefacebook.com in just 20 days.

Mark Zuckerberg Mark’s colleague Sean Parker suggested changing TheFacebook.com to Facebook, and in 2005 this significant change was made so that people could easily remember the short name. Mark bought this domain for US $ 2 million. After this, there were several changes in Facebook slowly and the current form of Facebook was created. A film called The Social Network has also been made on the life of Mark Zuckerberg.

As of October 2006, 500 million traffic on Facebook has spread across Yahoo! Offered to buy Facebook for $ 1 billion, but Zuckerberg completely refused.

September 27, 2015 Zuckerberg met the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, in which there was a lot of talk about promoting Internet in India and Modi also praised him.

Mark Zuckerberg succeeded in such a short time. It is no magic. The result of his hard work. He fueled his interest and moved on.
