The 16th Richest on the Forbes list, The 31 year old Billionaire and the Founder of the Facebook empire, Mark Zuckerberg astonished everyone on the planet (with access to the internet) when the world and some "fast swimmers" astonished him with a beautiful baby girl, Max on the 1st of this Merry Merry Month.
With his present net worth at around 47 Billion USD, he along with his wife Dr. Priscilla Chan vowed to donate 99% of their shares for charity which roughly came up to 45 Billion USD. This wasn't the case if you had asked him a few weeks earlier as he had said that he'd donate 1.6 Billion USD, but after the birth of his daughter that's roughly how much he's left with.
The money from this super generous donation would go directly to the Chan Mark Charity fund. That's right. This sudden change came to him when his daughter was born and as he looked at how his daughters generation was. (It was tiny and crying) The various problems around the world, world hunger, people dying from terrorist attacks, the world at the verge of another War. These just might be what triggered his enlightenment. Regardless of which, this Harvard dropout isn't doing something like this for the first time although these numbers? They're a first, In the history of time. He has donated several millions of dollars earlier and is also helping people through Facebook as much as he can. The use of all that money hasn't been disclosed yet but what's been disclosed is that it'll go into every field that'll make the world a better place and the profits earned will go back to the charity.
Well Mark and Chan, it's great what you're doing. Of course you're losing out on a lot of wealth but it's for a good cause and and think of all the tax you'll save.
