Mark Zuckerberg, Young Billionaire Giving To Others.

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/25/technology/25facebook.html?_r=1&ref=technology

Mark Zuckerberg, one of the youngest billionaires in the United States decided to give a grant of $100 million to imporve education in Newark, NJ. He revealed this on the popular TV show "The Oprah Winfrey Show" with Chris Christie, which is the Governor of New Jersey. While being one of youngest billionaires after creating the hit social network site "Facebook." Many wonder if he had to do some dirty work in order to get to this point. Why I bring this is up is because of the new upcoming movie "The Social Network", which shows a quite a different personality of Mr. Zuckerberg, as being a backstabber to his friends. Who knows maybe the movie is true in some aspects or maybe all lies. But, what we do know is that Mr. Zuckerberg is one of the few billionaires to give grants of $100 million or more.

  1. Yea I would say the same thing. Since, he did give a grant of $100 million to schools since he wants to give back to the young generation.

  2. Newark, NJ is near me. The people that attend to that school barely go to classes. There is a lot of skipping classes in that school, so wasting $100Mil on a school with no future is pointless in my opinion. Lol.

  3. Well that may be true but if new stuff is added then there might be something that kids will go to school for. Like after school activities, sports teams, clubs, and other neat stuff.
