ABOUT THE BOOK
Mark Zuckerberg is one of the world’s youngest billionaires, thanks to his role in co-founding social networking site, Facebook.

He turned both of the offers down.
Instead of selling out, Zuckerberg decided he’d expand his knowledge and attend Harvard University in 2002. At Harvard, he studied computer science and joined a Jewish fraternity. He wasn’t too popular, although he did have a few good friends who would later continue to play a role in his technological endeavors.
