Born in 1984 in White Plains, New York, Mark Elliot Zuckerberg is one of three children.
Mr Zuckerberg excelled at science and classics at Ardsley High School before going on to Harvard to study computer science.
Mr Zuckerberg created the social networking site Facebook in his penultimate year at Harvard with his flatmates and fellow Harvard students Dustin Moskovitz, Chris Hughes and Eduardo Saverin.
At first only available to Harvard students, Facebook’s popularity soon spiraled and the site expanded to surrounding universities.
