Mark Zuckerberg owns 20%-30% of Facebook according to reporting but this may very well vary. Facebook is not a publicly traded firm but rough estimates on private markets puts it at about a $2 billion valuation. 20%-30% of $2 billion is $400-$600 million. Let us not muddy the meaning of the word my dear "billionaire" my dear.

In 2008, Forbes ranked Mark as the 321st richest person in the United States, with a net worth of $1.5 billion. He is the youngest person to ever appear on the Forbes 400 :up:

I am wrong and retract my earlier assertion but I must say its laughable how this is based on Microsoft's 1.6% state for $240 million.
