Forget Cigars
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg celebrated the birth of his daughter Max by handing out a fortune to charity.
Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla, announced the birth on his FB page with a heartfelt letter to their newborn. In it, they say she gives hope for the future, a future they hope includes “advancing human potential and promoting equality.”
To do his part, Mark and Priscilla pledged to give away 99% of their FB stock — worth $45 billion right now — over the course of their lives. He doesn’t specify who will get the dough, but says it’ll go to people who improve “this world for the next generation.” Who might those people be Mark?
It’s no empty promise either … Zuck informed the Securities and Exchange Commission that he’ll be unloading the stock, so it’s legit.
One day Max will hate him for this…mark my words. Get it, Mark!?
