Mark Zuckerberg has been announced as Time magazine’s person of the year 2010, “for changing how we all live our lives in ways that are innovative and even optimistic.”
Born in 1984 in White Plains, New York, Mark Elliot Zuckerberg is one of three children.
Mr Zuckerberg excelled at science and classics at Ardsley High School before going on to Harvard to study computer science.
Mr Zuckerberg created the social networking site Facebook in his penultimate year at Harvard with his flatmates and fellow Harvard students Dustin Moskovitz, Chris Hughes and Eduardo Saverin.
At first only available to Harvard students, Facebook’s popularity soon spiraled and the site expanded to surrounding universities.
Following a cash injection, Mr Zuckerberg dropped out of university and moved the headquarters of Facebook Inc. to Palo Alto, California.
