Mark Zuckerberg

Facebook creator, 26 year old billionaire Mark Zuckerberg (worth $6.9 billion), has reportedly donated $100 million to the New Jersey school system. Young, brilliant, rich and giving. Nice to see someone so young and so successful give back to the community.

100 M to him is like me finding a dollar bill in my pocket after washing a pair of pants.....

not only is 100M nothing to him but giving 100M to jersey schools is like pissing on a forest fire.....but that's still pretty cool

and yet one more example of something i should've thought of first instead of living my shitty ****in pathetic life

well timed in light of the movie making him out to be a major prick that actually stole the whole idea for Facebook

People were critical and underwhelmed by his pledge to donate $100 million to Jersey schools, now Zuckerberg has become a member of the "giving" pledge along with the likes of Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. He has pledged to donate half of his near $7 billion dollar net worth to charities. So $100 million wasnt much according to you guys, how does donating $3.5 BILLION sound? Give him some props yet or is this like finding "a $1 bill in your pocket after washing a pair of jeans?" Because I was personally impressed before, now I am baffled.

Not to sure how realistic the movie is but he seemed like a giving type of guy since he didnt even want Facebook to be for profit
