Mark Zuckerberg first developed Facebook alongside fellow students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes while attending Harvard University in 2004. As the website gained traction, beginning to be used at other universities, he dropped out of Harvard to focus entirely on his growing business.
Forward to today, Zuckerberg is the CEO and chair of Meta, which had more than 2.8 billion monthly active users (as of Quarter one of 2021). He now owns about 12% of the Facebook stocks, which he took public in May 2012.
Meta, what was formerly known as Facebook, has turned into somewhat of a social media conglomerate with Instagram, WhatsApp, etc. acquired over the years and now under its umbrella, making itself an inevitability in today’s digital world.
