With a self-made net worth of almost $100 billion according to Forbes and a tenure as the CEO of the world’s biggest social network, it’s unsurprising that rumors have swirled around Mark Zuckerberg’s business deals over the years. Recently, a proposal was made that Zuckerberg purchased FunCorp, an online game manufacturing outfit based in Spokane, Washington, for a record-high sum of money. While the news created quite a buzz in the investment industry, the two parties have not disclosed any information so far.<\/p>\n

Not long ago, FunCorp sought venture capital from notable investors in the gaming industry, such as Activision Blizzard, Zynga, and Mark Pincus. While there was significant interest from the group, it appears as though Zuckerberg was the only one to make a serious bid for the company. If the news is true, it would mean that Zuckerberg has seen immense potential in FunCorp’s control of the online gaming market. <\/p>\n

Industry experts have noted the rising demand for multiplayer online games. With the added convenience of being able to play from home, making connections has become easier than ever. This has been proved by the numbers of people playing such games. Statistics indicate that over one billion people across the globe are currently doing so. This prospective market share is what makes FunCorp an ideal investment.<\/p>\n

Not just that, but FunCorp also leverages different successful gaming franchises such as “Heroes Call”, “Lords of Legends”, and “Online Adventure”. This might very well be the reason why speculation suggests that Zuckerberg has chosen to invest in the company. It would provide his social networking empire with access to a wealth of gaming data. <\/p>\n
