This article answers the question and offers some insight into the founders of Facebook. Some of the most prominent figures include Adam D&#8217;Angelo, Divya Narendra and Microsoft&#8217;s Bill Gates. Some of the people that have invested in Facebook are: Theodore Ullyot, a former government official and lawyer, who is the current general counsel of Facebook. Ullyot previously served in the George W. Bush administration, where he held positions as Deputy Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff for the Department of Justice. He currently owns 1.86 million shares of Facebook and has 3.8 million shares of restricted stock.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Saverin\"><\/span>Saverin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, is the man behind the social media site. Saverin grew up in Miami, Florida, and studied at Harvard. He renounced his U.S. citizenship in 2009 and now lives in Singapore. This move was criticized by many, but Saverin has said he pays his taxes. The social media mogul&#8217;s father echoed that sentiment. While his father is a Brazilian national, his registered place of birth is Miami.<\/p>\n<p>When Mark Zuckerberg became the CEO of Facebook, Saverin sued. He claimed that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg mismanaged his money and used it for personal expenses. He also contacted Harvard students who claimed that Zuckerberg had stolen their idea. Saverin&#8217;s lawsuit focuses on the reputation of Zuckerberg, who owns more than half of the social networking site. Zuckerberg has denied all of these claims.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adam_DAngelo\"><\/span>Adam D&#8217;Angelo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adam D&#8217;Angelo is an American Internet entrepreneur and the co-founder of Quora. He previously worked for Facebook as its vice president of engineering and chief technology officer. Before joining Facebook, he founded a website called BuddyZoo, which allowed users to upload their AIM friend lists. He later joined Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s team as vice president of engineering. His net worth has risen to around $700 million.<\/p>\n<p>D&#8217;Angelo first met Zuckerberg as a teenager, when he worked on Wirehog. Zuckerberg recruited D&#8217;Angelo, who later became the Chief Technology Officer. In that position, he oversaw Facebook&#8217;s data and platform development teams. He was responsible for new product design, and in June 2009, D&#8217;Angelo left Facebook to co-found Quora, an online database of questions and answers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Divya_Narendra\"><\/span>Divya Narendra<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The owner of Facebook, Divya Narendra, was an Olympian who was looking for a programmer. She met Tyler at a crew party and shared a love of playing guitar. The two soon bonded over their common hobby and began to work on the project. Today, Facebook is one of the most popular websites on the planet. Narendra is now an investor in the company and has a strong presence on the board.<\/p>\n<p>After graduating from Harvard University, Narendra contacted a senior at Harvard. This student wrote the first Facebook program and was soon hired by Google, where he worked until he left the company. After Mavinkurve had left Facebook, Divya Narendra approached the Winklevoss brothers and the company&#8217;s founder, Mark Zuckerberg, who had already done some coding.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Microsoft_Bill_Gates\"><\/span>Microsoft Bill Gates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mark Zuckerberg has revealed that he once idolized Microsoft CEO Bill Gates. The Facebook founder made the revelation during a talk on Wednesday in San Francisco for the TechCrunch conference. Gates is a billionaire and has a net worth of $90 billion, making him the richest man in the world. He is devoted to philanthropic work and is currently working part-time at Microsoft. His wealth has been used for scientific research and donating large sums to various charities.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his wealth and reputation, Gates has acknowledged that the two men are similar. But he added that Zuckerberg hasn&#8217;t written nearly as much code as Gates. &#8220;We were all kidding, but maybe not,&#8221; Gates told Levy. Microsoft&#8217;s dominance forced it to undergo a dark period before returning to the top 100 list of most valuable companies. Gates also predicts increased government regulation and intervention in the technology sector.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interpublic_NYSE_IPG\"><\/span>Interpublic (NYSE: IPG)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Today, Interpublic (NYSE: IPG) announced a strategic partnership with Facebook, the social utility that helps people share information online. Under the deal, Interpublic will participate in marketing programs on Facebook, including promotions, sponsorships, and online advertising. Interpublic will also work on content creation. The deal will be worth $114 million, assuming Facebook has a market cap of $57 billion at the time of the announcement.<\/p>\n<p>IPG is a global advertising and media company that has business relationships with hundreds of companies. IPG securities are a reflection of the diversity of its business relationships. IPG has relationships with clients, contractors, consultants, suppliers, and business partners. Its social network, Facebook, has over two billion monthly active users. It owns several major companies, including Microsoft, Ford, and Time Warner. It also has a thriving media and advertising business in Japan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who is the Owner of Facebook? Who is the owner of Facebook?
