Everyone knows Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO, and founder of “Facebook.” Here,
we are with some interesting facts about Mark Zuckerberg which you have not
heard off.

 Mark Zuckerberg began programming at a young age when he was 12

he created a messaging program that his father used in his dental office,
allowing the receptionist to notify him of new patients without yelling
across the office.
 His parents even hired a computer tutor to work with the young
Zuckerberg, but the tutor admitted that it quickly became difficult to
stay ahead of his pupil, referring to him as a “prodigy.”
 He was approached by several companies with job offers (including AOL
and Microsoft) before he even graduated high school, but Zuckerberg
turned them all down.
 Zuckerberg first launched Facebook from his dormitory at Harvard

 He dropped out of Harvard University after his sophomore year to
continue working on Facebook.
 A movie was made about Zuckerberg and the birth of Facebook called
The Social Network.

more attractive. Harvard administration shut down the program,

matchmaking site for students. Zuckerberg soon left this project to work
on Facebook with his friends.

Zuckerberg in hopes of advertising on Facebook, but Zuckerberg turned
them down, not wanting to sell out.
 In 2006, the Harvard Connection team sued Zuckerberg, claiming he
stole their concept and requesting compensation for their business
losses. While Zuckerberg asserted that the ideas were completely
different, incriminating messages revealed that Zuckerberg may have
intentionally ripped off intellectual property from the Harvard
Connection.
 Zuckerberg was not a fan of The Social Network, arguing that many of
the film’s details were inaccurate.
 Mark Zuckerberg was one of the early adopters of Google+, sa
