Entrepreneurial Success Through Facebook<\/h2>\n

Mark Zuckerberg is the co-founder, chairman and CEO of the social media giant Facebook. Having been in the works since 2004, Zuckerberg and his colleagues launched TheFacebook.com — the precursor to Facebook — in February 2004. By establishing one of the world’s first and most popular social networks, Mark Zuckerberg has accumulated an estimated net worth of nearly $87 billion.<\/p>\n

One of Mark Zuckerberg’s greatest money-making feats is the successful IPO of Facebook in May 2012. The initial purchase price of Facebook stock was $38 per share, and within 24 hours of going public, the price had risen to $42.05. Facebook’s IPO value reached a staggering $104 billion, rivaling Amazon and Google as the largest tech IPO on record.<\/p>\n

In addition to his success in bringing Facebook public, Mark Zuckerberg has also generated billions of dollars through direct investments, acquisitions, and mergers. He has acquired numerous companies since 2004, with the biggest deals falling under the Oculus VR and Instagram umbrella.<\/p>\n

After Oculus VR was acquired in 2014, Zuckerberg invested an additional $2 billion into the virtual reality technology. The gamble paid off tenfold as Facebook divested part of the Oculus subsidiary in June 2020, getting $300 million in the deal. Through his decision to purchase Instagram in 2012, Mr. Zuckerberg secured two of the most profitable and widely used applications in the world — Facebook and Instagram — under one company.<\/p>\n
