Mark Zuckerberg (39) celebrates Facebook’s 20th birthday. The current tech billionaire founded the extremely successful social network on February 4, 2004 together with a few other Harvard students. On Instagram, which, like Facebook, is part of the Meta Group led by Zuckerberg, the 39-year-old shared a story on today’s milestone birthday of the social network he founded that simply says: “I started Facebook 20 years ago. “
An Instagram post also shows the Facebook founder in front of two very different computers, 20 years apart. “20 years later. Still at it,” Zuckerberg writes about these pictures. The father of three children also shared a video clip that captures moments from the company’s 20-year history. The clip shows Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin (41), like Zuckerberg one of the richest people on the planet, Zuckerberg’s wife Priscilla Chan (38) and the former co-managing director of Meta Sheryl Sandberg (54).
Actor Jesse Eisenberg (40), who portrayed Zuckerberg in the 2010 Hollywood biography “The Social Network”, can also be briefly seen in the quickly edited video clip. About this post, Zuckerberg writes: “20 years ago I started something. Along the way, a lot of great people joined us and we built even more great things. We’re still at it and the best is yet to come.”
In addition to Facebook and Instagram, the Meta Group led by Zuckerberg also includes WhatsApp and the social network Threads, which was only launched in the summer of last year and which competes with the short message service X, formerly known as Twitter.
