Fast forward 10 years and 1.2 billion registered users later and you have the social media super giant -Facebook. CEO Mark Zukerburg is only 29. He's a billionaire personally. His company at this moment, according to Bloomberg, is siting on over 16 Billion dollars in cash. Not bad.for a 10 year old. I had 100 one dollar bills when I was 10.

He sat down with NBC's Today to talk about the highs and lows...

 

I was 5 years late to the game. According to my "Timeline" I joined Facebook April 9th 2009. I don't think I missed much.
