billionaires in history, Mark
Zuckerberg could have his choice of
the finest things in life. Instead, he lives very
modestly and walks to Facebook's Palo Alto
headquarters.
Both Microsoft and AOL had recruited Zuckerberg during his
senior year in high school in New Hampshire. He declined their job
offers and decided to attend Harvard. In college, he and some
friends developed several projects, laying the foundation that led to
Facebook's eventual start. Harvard administrators claimed these
Web sites violated students' privacy. He, however, had instant
success launching Facebook from his dorm room, and the Web
site's popularity quickly spread to other Ivy League and Boston-
area colleges and then worldwide. He left his studies at Harvard
University in 2004 and moved to California.

at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2008. As a
professor in the electrical engineering and computer science
departments, he researches social and technical collaboration on the
Internet. Berners-Lee's interest in sharing information via Web
servers, browsers, and Web addresses developed in 1989 while
working at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear
Research, in Geneva, Switzerland. He continued to improve his
design of a program that tracked random associations for several
years and then became the director of the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C), a forum to develop Web standards, in 1994.
Recently, Queen Elizabeth bestowed the Order of Merit - the
highest civilian honor - upon the British-born Berners-Lee.

animation studio. He left Apple in 1985 to spend time with his
family, work on community projects, and teach, but he still serves
as an advisor to the corporation. Wozniak was inducted into the
Consumer Electronics Hall of Fame and the National Inventors
Hall of Fame. One of his current passions is applying artificial
intelligence to the area of robotics. He also is a member of the
Silicon Valley Aftershocks, a polo team that plays using Segway
electric transportation devices.

Today, Zuckerberg says he spends the majority of his time running

the $15 billion company on very little sleep.
