Mark Zuckerberg – the man who changed the face of the internet forever. The more you say about his success graph, the less it is. At the age of 32, with a net worth of $51.8 billion, Mark is one of the most famous people in the world and let’s not forget, an inspiration to an entire generation. Here are 15 interesting facts about him you probably never knew!

1. When he was just12, Zuckerberg devised a programming system for his father’s dental clinic, using which the receptionist could inform him about the new patients coming without having to call him out every time.

2. When he was very young, Zuckerberg’s parents hired a computer tutor for him but the tutor couldn’t keep up with his learning abilities. A ‘prodigy’, he called him.

3. While he was still in high school, several companies like AOL and Microsoft offered him a job. He refused and the rest as they say is history.
