Just in a matter of three days, so much happened to Facebook and its founder.
On Friday, with the launch of Facebook’s IPO, Mark Zuckerberg became a billionaire. He toke his company public and raised his personal wealth to more than $19 billion. Facebook’s shares were priced at $38 Thursday and got off to a hot start Friday, opening at $42.05. They briefly shot up to $45 but traded around the $40 mark for most of the day before closing at $38.23.
In the same time, Facebook got hit with a monstrous lawsuit. News broke that the social network was sued for $15 billion in an amended complaint by subscribers who claim the company invaded their privacy by tracking their Internet use.
Nevertheless, Facebook’s founder and CEO got married just a day later. He updated his Facebook status to “married” on Saturday. Zuckerberg and his girlfriend of nine years 27-year-old Priscilla Chan tied the knot at a small ceremony at his Palo Alto, Calif. home, according to a guest authorized to speak for the couple.
The wedding capped a busy week for Zuckerberg. His birthday and Chan’s graduation from medical school were both Monday, and on Friday, he rang the Nasdaq Stock Market’s bell from Facebook headquarters in California on his company’s first day of trading on the public market.
What happens next? Surely, it wouldn’t be possibly to keep up with so tight agenda….
