Showing Original Post only (View all)I know this is an outre sentiment here but I kind of like Mark Zuckerberg. [View all]
He seems a pretty level headed wonky type who isn't completely caught up in having a gazillion bucks. Yes, he just bought a 7 million dollar house in Palo Alto but it's not some mega mansion. He doesn't own a private jet or private islands or any of the trappings of many of the super rich. He married his girlfriend of 7 years. She's just graduated from Med School specializing in pediatrics.
Zuckerberg has pledged that he will donate at least half of his fortune.
He came from a family that valued brains. Yes, he was fortunate and privileged growing up. His mother is a psychiatrist and his dad is a dentist, but he didn't come from an uber wealthy family.
I just can't get worked up over him.
Slam away.
