Mark Zukerberg is the founder and CEO of Facebook, an extremely popular social working website that started in the United States.
Now, millions of student users visit Facebook daily and the website is one of the top ten widely visited sites on the Internet worldwide. College and high school students use Facebook to municate with friends and share both information and pictures for free. The pany earns money through advertising.
Many other panies have been rumored(谣传）to be interested in buying Facebook. Just a few years after Mark started the pany, he was approached by Terry Semel, who was the CEO of Yahoo. Terry offered Mark one billion dollars($1,000,000,000) to sell Facebook to Yahoo. Mark said no, though. He stands behind his dreams at the very beginning. He knows the value of the pany could fall down; however, he is in this to build something unbelievable, not be bought out by another pany.
Maybe he was smart. Now Facebook is rumored to be worth billions of dollars and bigger panies like Microsoft or Google want a share of the pany. Some private firms are also interested. Facebook could sell 15billion dollars if Mark decides to sell it at all. Perhaps Mark will just keep working from his California office to continue his dream of building something cool.
