Mark Zuckerberg is one of the most famous and successful entrepreneurs of all time. He is the founder and CEO of Facebook, the largest and most popular social media application in the world. Born in 1984, Zuckerberg attended Harvard University where he launched Thefacebook, which went on to become Facebook. Zuckerberg became a billionaire at the age of 23 – younger than any other self-made billionaire in history. So when did Mark Zuckerberg become a billionaire?<\/p>\n

In 2008, at the age of 24, Zuckerberg achieved billionaire status, with a net worth of an estimated $1.5 billion, according to estimates by Forbes. The jump in his net worth came primarily from the sale of a substantial stake in Facebook that he had acquired during the company’s Series A funding round in 2004. Facebook’s valuation had jumped from $98 million to $15 billion in just four years, and Zuckerberg had made a killing.<\/p>\n

The incredible success of Facebook also transformed Zuckerberg into one of the world’s youngest billionaires. According to Forbes, in 2008 Zuckerberg was the 208th richest person in the world and the 35th richest American. At the time, Zuckerberg held a 28.4 percent stake in Facebook and the company had grown to an estimated 250 million users.<\/p>\n

Since then, Zuckerberg’s fortune has grown exponentially. He is currently listed as the sixth richest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of over $85 billion. According to financial analysts, the majority of Zuckerberg’s wealth is due to the incredible success of Facebook and the large stake he continues to hold in the company. His stake in the company is estimated to be worth $45 billion, while the rest of his fortune is derived from investments and other assets.<\/p>\n
