Will the real Mark Zuckerberg please stand up? With all of the rumors of how Facebook started due to the highly anticipated movie, Social Network, Mark Zuckerberg’s identity, along with his moral ethics, have come into question.
However, recently the Facebook founder generously donated a whopping $100 million to the Newark, New Jersey’s public school district on behalf of his foundation, Startup: Education. Interestingly enough, Mark has zero ties to Newark except for the fact that when he was looking for a suitable place to invest he thought that this specific area would benefit the most from his gift.
Even though the $100 million donation equates to about 1.6% of Zuckerberg’s net worth, the media mogul should be hailed as a hero rather than as a cheapskate. With the Facebook phenomenon flourishing globally, simultaneously bringing our loved ones closer without moving an inch, perhaps we should take time out of our lives to thank the one man responsible for making our world seem smaller, and our east coast schools brighter. How’s that for a Thursday morning status update? Have YOU helped save the world today?
