Mark Zuckerberg
Mark Zuckerberg, the American computer programmer, who was born in New York in 1984, was one of the founders of Facebook.
In his teens, he began to write software programs as a hobby. After school, he went to Harvard where he studied computer science and sociology. While he was there he created a website called Facemash which allowed students to share photos. It was shut down by the university, but it inspired him to create Facebook which he launched from his room in 2004.
He left Harvard and moved to California with Dustin Moskovitz who had been his roommate and together they made Facebook and international success.
In 2012 Zuckerberg married Priscilla Chan who he had dated for nine years.
