Along with the growing development of Facebook, its co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has just turned 35. The year 2018 witnessed a series of unhappy moments of one of the most renowned social networking services. The Cambridge Analytica data scandal was a typical example.  Also, the data privacy issues have caused a lot of pressure on Mark Zuckerberg and his tech company.

However, let’s forget temporarily all of the issues the Facebook CEO has faced and sent a happy birthday wish to him. Take a quick look at the 5 things you may not know about Mark Zuckerberg.

Like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg Dropped Out Of Harvard

Facebook was established when our CEO didn’t complete the training course at Harvard University yet. He decided to leave the university to chase after his dream with the platform which has been the hugest social media platform at present. In 2017, Zuckerberg finally earned an honorary degree from his old university.

New Year’s Resolution

At the beginning of a New Year, each Western citizen has a habit to write down New Year’s Resolutions. And Mark Zuckerberg is not an exception. For him, these resolutions may include putting on a tie at the workplace (2009) or learning Mandarin (2010). This year, the CEO revealed that he planned to take part in public debates to talk about how technology affects our society.

Jarvis AI

Three years ago, in 2016, Zuckerberg took inspiration from the character Jarvis in the movie Iron Man to develop his own AI with the same name. His virtual assistant can also control main household appliances from lights to toaster. Another interesting feature of this initiative is the ability to play music based on Zuckerberg’s and his wife’s favorite playlists. In addition, Zuckerberg is ready to share the code that allows other developers to set up similar Jarvis AI on their own.

Mark Zuckerberg versus Elon Musk

Many tech fans have known the fight between the Facebook CEO and the Tesla CEO, Elon Musk. After an unhappy partnership, Zuckerberg and Musk seem to have a lot of difficulties in talking to each other in a friendly way. Before that, Facebook had spent $200 million on the Internet.org satellite which was then exploded along with Musk’s rocket. It came as no surprise when Zuckerberg required SpaceX to compensate for its damages; however, Musk obviously didn’t have the same ideas with the Facebook owner. The SpaceX said that it was just a free launch.

Self-made tech billionaire

Mark Zuckerberg has been among the youngest self-made tech billionaires in the world. In 2008, his estimated asset was worth $1 billion. At that time, he just turned 23. Now, the first position as the youngest self-made billionaire has just belonged to Kylie Jenner.
